נְחִילָה H5155
flutes — wind instruments, possibly used in temple worship
This term appears in the heading of Psalm 5, in the phrase 'to the flutes' or 'for the flutes,' apparently a musical or liturgical instruction. The word's meaning is uncertain—it may derive from a root meaning 'inherit' or 'play the flute.' Ancient interpreters disagreed: some read it as referring to wind instruments, others as a melodic designation. Such superscriptions preserve liturgical terminology whose precise meanings were already obscure by late antiquity.

1. sense 1 — A plural feminine noun in Psalm 5:1's superscription, most likely meaning 'flutes' (wind instruments), though its interpretation is disputed. The phrase 'to/for the flutes' (אֶל־הַנְּחִילוֹת) probably indicates musical accompaniment. Some connect this to חָלִיל (flute, pipe), which makes phonetic sense. Ancient versions struggled: the Greek read 'concerning the inheritance' (connecting to נַחֲלָה), while Jerome rendered 'for the inheritances.' The term likely preserves ancient musical/liturgical vocabulary. 1×
