Hoph`al be sung: Imperfect יוּשַׁר הַשִׁיר הַזֶּה Isaiah 26:1 Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G103: ἄδω (adō) • to sing • G134: αἴνεσις (ainesis) • praise • G757: ἄρχω (archō) • to begin, to rule • G758: ἄρχων (archōn) • ruler, leader • G2307: θέλημα (thelēma) • will, desire • G5455: φωνέω (phōneō) • to call, to sound These Greek entries reflect various aspects of singing and related concepts, such as praise and calling, which are integral to the understanding of שַׁיר (shiyr) in its biblical context. Usage: The verb שַׁיר (shiyr) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the act of singing. It is often associated with expressions of joy, worship, and celebration. The term can refer to both secular and sacred songs, including psalms and hymns. Context: The Hebrew verb שַׁיר (shiyr) appears frequently in the Old Testament, reflecting the cultural and religious significance of music and song in ancient Israel. Singing was an integral part of worship and communal life, often accompanying sacrifices, festivals, and other religious ceremonies. The Psalms, a central book of the Hebrew Bible, are a collection of songs and poems that were sung in various contexts, both personal and communal. In the context of worship, singing was a means of expressing devotion and reverence to God. For example, in Exodus 15:1, Moses and the Israelites sing a song to the LORD after their deliverance from Egypt: "Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD: 'I will sing to the LORD, for He is highly exalted. The horse and rider He has thrown into the sea.'" (BSB) Singing also served as a form of teaching and remembrance, helping to pass down stories and doctrines through generations. In Deuteronomy 31:19, God instructs Moses to write down a song and teach it to the Israelites as a witness for Him against them. The act of singing is not limited to humans; in some passages, creation itself is depicted as singing praises to God, highlighting the universal scope of worship. For instance, Isaiah 44:23 states, "Sing for joy, O heavens, for the LORD has done this; shout aloud, O depths of the earth. Break forth into singing, O mountains, you forests and all your trees. For the LORD has redeemed Jacob and displays His glory in Israel." (BSB) The verb שַׁיר (shiyr) underscores the importance of music as a spiritual and communal practice, reflecting the joy and reverence of the people of Israel towards their God.
