Strong's Lexicon zimrah: Song, music, melody Original Word: זִמְרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), which means "to sing" or "to make music." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5215 (hymnos): A hymn or song of praise. - G5568 (psalmos): A psalm or sacred song, often accompanied by a stringed instrument. Usage: The Hebrew word "zimrah" primarily refers to a song or melody, often associated with praise and worship. It is used in the context of singing praises to God, highlighting the importance of music in worship and spiritual expression. The term can denote both vocal and instrumental music, emphasizing the role of music in conveying devotion and adoration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a vital role in religious and communal life. Songs and melodies were integral to worship, celebrations, and even in times of lament. The Levites, a tribe set apart for temple service, were often responsible for leading musical worship. Instruments such as the harp, lyre, and cymbals were commonly used in conjunction with singing to enhance the worship experience. Music was seen as a means to express the soul's deepest emotions and to connect with God on a spiritual level.
