Strong's Lexicon neginah or neginath: Music, song, stringed instrument, or melody. Original Word: נְגִינָה Word Origin: Derived from the root נָגַן (nagan), meaning "to play a stringed instrument." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "neginah," the concept of musical accompaniment in worship can be related to Greek terms such as ψαλμός (psalmos, Strong's G5568), which refers to a psalm or song sung to the accompaniment of a harp or other stringed instrument. Usage: The term "neginah" refers to a type of musical composition or a song, often associated with stringed instruments. It is used in the context of worship and praise, particularly in the Psalms, where it denotes a musical setting or accompaniment for a psalm or hymn. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, music played a significant role in religious and communal life. The Levites, who were responsible for temple worship, often used stringed instruments to accompany psalms and hymns. The term "neginah" reflects this tradition, indicating a specific style or form of musical worship. Music was not only a form of artistic expression but also a means of spiritual connection and communication with God.
