In the context of the Hebrew Scriptures, it is often used to describe a musical instrument, specifically a decachord, which is a stringed instrument with ten strings. This instrument is mentioned in the context of worship and praise, highlighting the importance of music in the liturgical practices of ancient Israel. The use of the decachord is noted in several Psalms, where it is employed to accompany songs of thanksgiving and adoration to God.
