1. cymbals — A pair of metallic percussion instruments clashed together in worship and celebration, used exclusively in Levitical/temple music contexts (1 Chronicles 13-16, 25; 2 Chronicles 5, 29; Ezra 3; Nehemiah 12; Psalm 150). Multilingual glosses uniformly point to cymbals: English 'cymbals,' Spanish 'címbalos,' Hindi 'jhanjhon se' (झांझों से), Arabic 'as-sunuj' (الصُّنُوجِ), Korean 'simbeoljeu' (심벌즈들), Swahili 'matoazi.' The two clusters differ only by prepositional prefix (beth 'with') and conjunction (waw 'and'), not by meaning. 13×
