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: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zimrah," related concepts can be found in words like ψαλμός (psalmos, G5568), which means "a psalm" or "a song sung to the accompaniment of a harp." 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 also imply a joyful or celebratory song, reflecting the emotional and spiritual upliftment that music can bring. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in both religious and social settings.
