1 | What is meaning of Selah for us today? | Psalm | dmadden | 9965 | ||
I believe that every word and letter in the Bible is inspired by God. That question is: What would be the meaning of musical terms like Selah, Maschil, etc.? Is there something pertinent for us today in these words or (not to be flippant) is God picky about how the Psalms were sung and maybe should be sung today? | ||||||
2 | What is meaning of Selah for us today? | Psalm | kalos | 9969 | ||
Psalm 3:2 Selah. "Selah may mean: Pause, Crescendo or Musical interlude" (New American Standard Bible, Translators' Note). "Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!" (Amplified Bible, Psalm 3:2b) Psalm 3:2 (NET Bible Translators' Note) "The function of the Hebrew term hls, transliterated here "Selah," is uncertain. It may be a musical direction of some kind."

3 | How does Selah fit into 2 Tim 3:16? | Psalm | dmadden | 9986 | ||
Thank you for your response, but it doesn't get at the heart of my question. I have looked these words up in Strong's and know their definition. The question is WHY did God put musical directions into a message He purposed to be read throughout eternity? If I were to follow 2 Tim 3:16, how would I use these musical directions as part of my instruction of the Psalms? How are we to use these directions TODAY? | ||||||
4 | How does Selah fit into 2 Tim 3:16? | Psalm | EdB | 9989 | ||
dmadden Shelah - "think about that". If we take that direction we will stop in our reading and think about, mediate on the scripture just proceding this point. Many times I have done this and God through his wonderful Holy Spirit has opened in my mind the realities of what I had just read. They became more alive or expressive to me. Shelah! Be blessed Ed |
