The instruments used in Bible times can be divided into three basic categories: stringed instruments, such as the harp, the lyre (1), and the lute (2); wind instruments, such as the horn, or shofar (3), the trumpet (4), the much loved flute, or pipe (5); percussion instruments, such as the tambourine (6), the sistrum (7), cymbals (8), and bells (9).
Glazbala koja su postojala u biblijsko doba mogu se podijeliti u tri skupine. To su žičana glazbala, primjerice harfa, lira (1) i psaltir (2), zatim puhaća glazbala u koja spadaju rog, odnosno šofar (3), truba (4) i frula (5) te udaraljke, naprimjer def (6), zvečka (7), činele (8) i zvonca (9).jw2019 jw2019
