Subjects in this Topic:
JEDUTHUN.—An unintelligible name having to do with the music or the musicians of the Temple. According to 1Ch_25:1 etc., it was the name of one of the three musical guilds, and it appears in some passages to mask the name Ethan. Jeduthun (Jedithun) occurs in the headings of Psa_39:1-13; Psa_62:1-12; Psa_77:1-20, and appears to refer to an instrument or to a tune. But in our ignorance of Hebrew music it is impossible to do more than guess what Jeduthun really meant.
