Usage: The term עוּגָב appears in the Hebrew Bible as a musical instrument, specifically a type of wind instrument. It is mentioned in contexts that suggest its use in both secular and sacred music. Context: The Hebrew term עוּגָב (ʿûḡāḇ) is traditionally understood to refer to a wind instrument, likely a type of pipe or flute. This instrument is mentioned in the context of early human culture and music. In Genesis 4:21, Jubal is described as "the father of all who play the harp and flute," indicating the antiquity and cultural significance of the עוּגָב. The instrument is also mentioned in Job 21:12, where it is associated with joy and celebration: "They sing to the tambourine and lyre and make merry to the sound of the flute." The עוּגָב is thus depicted as an instrument that accompanies singing and dancing, contributing to festive and joyful occasions. Its construction likely involved reeds or similar materials, allowing it to produce melodious sounds through the act of blowing. The precise nature of the עוּגָב remains a subject of scholarly discussion, but its role in biblical times as a source of musical expression is well attested.
