Definition:Song, singing, pruning

Word Origin:Derived from the root זָמַר (zamar), which means "to sing" or "to prune."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: -G5215 (hymnos): Refers to a hymn or song of praise, often used in the New Testament to describe songs sung in worship to God.

Usage:The Hebrew word "zamir" primarily refers to "song" or "singing," often in the context of joyful or worshipful music. It can also refer to "pruning," indicating a time of preparation and cultivation, as seen in agricultural contexts. The dual meaning reflects the cyclical nature of seasons and the intertwining of worship and daily life in ancient Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israel, music and singing were integral to both religious and social life. Songs were used in worship, celebrations, and even in agricultural settings. The act of pruning, associated with "zamir," was a crucial agricultural practice, symbolizing preparation and growth. This duality highlights the connection between spiritual and physical renewal.
