Strong's Lexicon mezammereth: Song, Melody Original Word: מְזַמְּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), which means "to sing" or "to make music." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible) for musical terms related to "mezammereth" is ψαλμός (psalmos), Strong's Greek 5568, which also denotes a song or hymn, particularly one used in worship. Usage: The term "mezammereth" refers to a song or melody, often associated with worship or praise. It is used to describe a musical composition that is intended for singing, particularly in a religious or liturgical context. The word emphasizes the act of making music as a form of worship and expression of devotion to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in religious and communal life. Songs and melodies were integral to worship in the Temple, as well as in personal and communal celebrations. The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, were often responsible for leading musical worship. Instruments such as the harp, lyre, and cymbals were commonly used to accompany singing. The Psalms, a central part of the Hebrew Bible, are a collection of songs and prayers that reflect the importance of music in expressing faith and devotion.
