Usage: The term "metsiltayim" refers to a type of percussion instrument, specifically cymbals, used in ancient Israelite worship and musical practices. Cymbals are typically made of metal and are clashed together to produce a loud, ringing sound. In the context of the Bible, they are often associated with joyful celebration and worship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in both religious and communal life. Cymbals were part of the musical ensemble used in temple worship, particularly during times of celebration and praise. They were considered instruments of joy and were used to accompany singing and other instruments like harps and lyres. The use of cymbals in worship can be traced back to the time of King David, who organized the Levitical musicians for temple services.
