Psalms 149:3
Verse 3. Let them praise his name in the dance] bemachol, with the pipe, or some kind of wind music, classed here with toph, the tabor or drum, and kinnor, the harp. " machol," says Parkhurst, "some fistular wind-instrument of music, with holes, as a flute, pipe, or fife, from chal, to make a hole or opening." I know no place in the Bible where machol and machalath mean dance of any kind; they constantly signify some kind of pipe.
