Neginah

VIEW:16 DATA:01-04-2020
NEGINAH Hebrew neginath (singular). Title of Psalm 61. The construct form; translated therefore "upon the instrumental music of David." As Hab_3:19 "to the chief singer on my stringed instruments"; also Amo_6:5, "invent instruments of music like David." NEGINOTH (plural), the general name for all stringed instruments (1Sa_18:6; 1Sa_18:10; 1Sa_19:9; 1Sa_16:16-18; 1Sa_16:23; Psa_33:2; Psa_92:3; Psa_68:25; Psa_150:4), played with the hand or a plectrum or quill; from nigeen, "performed music." Psalm 4's title: for "on" translated (...) "to be accompanied with stringed instruments" (Hengstenberg); chapters 6, 54, 55, 67, 76.
But Delitzsch: "Neginah denotes not a particular stringed instrument, but the music on such instruments (often a taunting song in Hebrew, Psa_69:12; Job_30:9); Neginoth is the music formed by numerous notes running into one another, not various instruments." In Hab_3:19 the direction is the prophet's to the precentor or "chief singer," how the ode was to be performed in the temple liturgy. He had a stringed instrument of his own ("my") of a form adapted to accompany his subject; or rather (Hengstenberg) the "my" is Israel's sacred national temple music. As Shigionoth in the beginning marks the melody erratic and enthusiastically irregular as suited to the subject, so Neginoth at the close directs as to the instrument to be used (compare Isa_38:20).

Neginah. (stringed instruments). The singular of Neginoth. If occurs in the title of Psa_61:1. It is the general term by which all stringed instruments are described. "The chief musician on Neginoth," was, therefore, the conductor of that portion of the Temple-choir, who played upon the stringed instruments, and who are mentioned in Psa_68:25.

Neginah
properly NEGINATH (_נְגַינִת, neginath'), occurs in the title of Psalms 61, "to the chief musician upon Neginah." If the present reading be correct, the form of the word may be compared with that of Mahalath (Psalms 53). But the Sept. (ἐν ὕμνοις) and Vulg. (in hymnis) evidently read "Neginoth" in the plural, which occurs in the titles of five Psalms, and is perhaps the true reading. Whether the word be singular or plural, it is the general term by which all stringed instruments are described (Smith). In the singular it has the derived sense of the music of stringed instruments (1Sa_16:16; Isa_38:20); and of songs to be accompanied with stringed instruments (Psa_77:7), especially a song of derision (Job_30:9). SEE NEGINOTH.
