The meaning of Cymbals in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
(Heb. tzeltzelim, from a root meaning to "tinkle"), musical instruments, consisting of two convex pieces of brass one held in each hand, which were clashed together to produce a loud clanging sound; castanets; "loud cymbals." "Highsounding cymbals" consisted of two larger plates, one held also in each hand (II Samuel 6:5; Psalms 150:5; I Chronicles 13:8; 15:16,19,28; I Corinthians 13:1).
