Thematic Bible



Meanwhile, David and all the house of Israel were celebrating and dancing before the Lord with all kinds of instruments made of fir or cypress wood, with lyres, harps, tambourines, castanets, and cymbals.


The singers go in front, the players of instruments last;
Between them the maidens playing on tambourines.

Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron [and Moses], took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women followed her with timbrels and dancing.

Then Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, and this is what he saw: his daughter coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. And she was his only child; except for her he had no son or daughter.


“They lift up their voices and sing to the tambourine and the lyre
And rejoice to the sound of the flute.


Raise a song, sound the timbrel,
The sweet sounding lyre with the harp.
