Exegesis

Instrumental roles are marked by bi-kəlē {בִּכְלֵי | bi-kə-lē} ‘with lyres’ and ū-bə-ḥinōrōṯ {וּבְכִנֹּרוֹת | ū-bə-ḥi-nō-roṯ} ‘and with harps’, indicating means, while the participle mašmîaʿ {מַשְׁמִיעַ | maš-mî-ʿ} ‘making heard’ highlights the ongoing action of cymbal sounding. The English syntax mirrors Hebrew clause boundaries with semicolon and conjunction choices to maintain the original emphasis on roles and instruments.
