Check out how stoked Dave and his homies were after the Ark of God was brought back into Jerusalem: “David and the whole house of Israel were celebrating with all their might before the LORD, with songs and with harps, lyres, tambourines, sistrums and cymbals.” (2 Sam 6:5)
2 Questions:
- What the heck is a sistrum?
- Christians have a greater salvation in Jesus – why don’t we celebrate with all our might?
I wondered the same thing! In my head it is a girly (pink?) looking trumpet…a sis-trum.
haha
you could break it up:
si-strums
it then has more of a strumming some strings feel… maybe it was just an ancient electric guitar??
