Strong's Lexicon maskiyl: Insightful, instructive, a contemplative poem or song Original Word: מַשְׂכִּיל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: maskiyl Pronunciation: mahs-KEEL Phonetic Spelling: (mas-keel') Definition: Insightful, instructive, a contemplative poem or song Meaning: instructive, a didactic poem Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂכַל (sakal), meaning "to be prudent, to have insight, to understand." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "maskiyl," the concept of wisdom and instruction can be related to Greek terms such as σοφία (sophia, G4678) meaning "wisdom," and νουθεσία (nouthesia, G3559) meaning "admonition" or "instruction." Usage: The term "maskiyl" is often used to denote a type of psalm or song that is didactic or meditative in nature. It implies a composition that is meant to impart wisdom or understanding, often through reflection or contemplation. In the Psalms, a "maskiyl" is typically a poem that encourages the reader or listener to consider deeply the truths of God and His ways. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music and poetry were integral to worship and the transmission of religious teachings. The Psalms, many of which are attributed to King David and other leaders, served as both liturgical pieces and personal reflections. The "maskiyl" psalms were likely used in both public worship and private devotion, providing instruction and encouragement to the faithful. The use of music and poetry as a means of teaching reflects the oral culture of the time, where wisdom was often passed down through memorable and artistic expressions.
