Bible Question: What does the word Selah means? |
Bible Answer: The meaning of the word Selah is unknown, and a great many useless opinions have been given about it. For instance, some think it is a musical term meaning “pause” or “repeat.” Others believe it marks a change of meter or the coming in of the accompaniment. Still others think it was supposed to call attention to a peculiarly important thought, or that it designated the end of a prayer. Any of these theories is as good as the others. The Hebrew scholar W.A. Wright ends a long list of these opinions by quietly calling it a “hopeless subject.” Packer, J. (1997, c1995).
