Strong's Lexicon zamir: Song, singing, pruning Original Word: זָמִיר Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), which means "to sing" or "to prune." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5215 (hymnos): Refers to a hymn or song of praise, often used in the New Testament to describe songs sung in worship to God. Usage: The Hebrew word "zamir" primarily refers to "song" or "singing," often in the context of joyful or worshipful music. It can also refer to "pruning," indicating a time of preparation and cultivation, as seen in agricultural contexts. The dual meaning reflects the cyclical nature of seasons and the intertwining of worship and daily life in ancient Israel.
