The Hebrew word used here is "מְשׁוֹרְרִים" (meshorrerim), which refers to those who sing or chant. Singing was not merely an artistic expression but a vital part of worship, used to glorify God and lead the congregation in praise. The role of singers in the temple was to maintain the spiritual atmosphere and facilitate the people's connection with God through music. This highlights the importance of music in worship, a tradition that continues in Christian churches today, emphasizing the power of song to uplift and inspire faith.
