Strong's Lexicon manginah: Melody, Music, Song Original Word: מַנְגִּינָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַן (nagan), which means "to play a stringed instrument" or "to make music." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of music and melody can be related to Greek terms such as ψαλμός (psalmos, Strong's G5568), which refers to a psalm or song sung to the accompaniment of a harp. Usage: The term "manginah" refers to a melody or tune, often associated with music played on stringed instruments. It conveys the idea of a musical composition or a song, typically used in a worship or celebratory context. The word emphasizes the musical aspect of worship and the role of music in expressing devotion and praise to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in religious and communal life. The Levites, who were responsible for temple worship, often used stringed instruments to accompany psalms and hymns. Music was an integral part of festivals, celebrations, and worship services, serving as a means to express joy, lament, and reverence. The use of "manginah" highlights the importance of melody in the spiritual and cultural practices of the Israelites.
