Bible Question: what does the word "selah" found in the book of psalm mean ? is the word still used today? and why only in psalm's? thank's for any help!!!! |
Bible Answer: 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."
