Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָגַן (nagan), which means "to play a stringed instrument."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2788 (kithara): Refers to a lyre or harp, a stringed instrument used in ancient Greek music, similar to the instruments implied by נְגִינָה. Usage: The term נְגִינָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a form of musical expression, often associated with stringed instruments. It can refer to both the music itself and the instruments used to produce it. Additionally, it can describe a poem or song that is set to music, indicating a lyrical or artistic composition. Context: נְגִינָה (Neginah) appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often in the Psalms, where it is used to denote a musical or lyrical composition. It is frequently found in the titles or superscriptions of psalms, indicating the intended musical accompaniment or style of performance. For example, in Psalm 4:1, the term is used in the superscription: "For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David." This suggests that the psalm was to be performed with stringed instruments, highlighting the integral role of music in worship and liturgical settings.
