Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "ᾄδω" (Strong's Greek 103), which also means "to sing."

Usage:The Hebrew verb "sharah" primarily means "to sing" or "to chant." It is used in the context of vocal music, often in worship or celebration. The act of singing in the Hebrew Bible is frequently associated with joy, praise, and the expression of deep emotions, whether in personal devotion or communal worship.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, music and singing were integral parts of religious and communal life. Singing was a common way to express worship, tell stories, and pass down traditions. The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, often led singing in the temple. Songs and chants were used in various settings, from personal devotion to grand temple ceremonies, reflecting the importance of music in connecting with God and the community.
