1 Chronicles 25:6All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of Yahweh, with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps, for the service of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the order of the king.
The setting
Jerusalem, ~1000 BC. Inside the temple courts, three family dynasties - Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman - coordinate with cymbals, stringed instruments, and harps. Children learn from fathers in what would become centuries of worship leadership in modern-day Jerusalem, Israel.

The original word
mashoreq (מָשׁוֹרֵק) — stringed instruments, likely including lyres and harps
Why it matters
