PrinceEB 3238 DrDaniel 3:5; also Biblical Hebrew שׂבָכָה lattice-work, √ שׂבך, compare Syriac Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from a foreign origin.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for סַבְּכָא, as it is a specific Aramaic term for a musical instrument mentioned in the Old Testament. However, the concept of musical instruments, including stringed instruments like the lyre, is present in the Greek New Testament, though not directly linked to this specific term. Usage: The term סַבְּכָא is used in the context of musical instruments, particularly in the book of Daniel, where it is mentioned as part of an ensemble of instruments used in royal or ceremonial settings. Context: The Aramaic term סַבְּכָא (sabbeḵā) appears in the book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 3:5, 3:7, 3:10, and 3:15. In these passages, it is listed among several musical instruments that were played at the command of King Nebuchadnezzar. The context is the dedication of a golden image set up by the king, where the sound of these instruments signaled the people to fall down and worship the image. The lyre, or סַבְּכָא, was part of a diverse orchestra that included other instruments such as the horn, flute, zither, harp, and pipes. The use of the lyre in this context highlights its role in ancient Near Eastern ceremonial and religious practices, where music was integral to worship and royal proclamations. The lyre, a stringed instrument, was known for its melodic capabilities and was often associated with both secular and sacred music in ancient cultures.
