Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word συμφωνία (symphonia), which means "harmony" or "concord of sound."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4858: συμφωνία (symphonia), meaning "harmony" or "concord of sound," which is the root from which the Aramaic סוּמְפוֹנְיָה is derived. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe harmonious sound or agreement, as seen in Luke 15:25, where it refers to music and dancing. Usage: The term סוּמְפוֹנְיָה appears in the context of musical instruments used in the worship of Nebuchadnezzar's golden image, as described in the Book of Daniel. Context: The term סוּמְפוֹנְיָה is found in the Aramaic section of the Book of Daniel, specifically in Daniel 3:5, 3:10, and 3:15. It is listed among several musical instruments that were played to signal the people to worship the golden image set up by King Nebuchadnezzar. The use of the term reflects the cultural and musical influences present in Babylon during the time of the Jewish exile. The inclusion of a Greek-derived term in the Aramaic text suggests a blending of cultures and languages, indicative of the diverse nature of the Babylonian empire. The bagpipe, as understood in this context, would have been a wind instrument capable of producing a harmonious sound, contributing to the grandeur and solemnity of the royal decree.
