Bible Question: What does the word (Selah) mean in the book of Psalms it is always at the endof a verse? |
Bible Answer: Word study ...Selah means to lift up, exalt (Strong's 5542). It is a technical musical term probably showing accentuation, pause, interruption. It is from Calah (Strong's 5541) - to make light of, toss aside - to weigh, balance We do not know if it meant to pause for all, only let the instruments play or get louder. Hope this hepls, Searcher The LXX. render the word by daplasma i.e., "a division." |
