33 And these are they that waited with their children. Of the sons of the Kohathites: Heman a singer, the son of Joel, the son of Shemuel,
34 The son of Elkanah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Eliel, the son of Toah,

“6:31-48. The importance of organized music in the temple worship of Israel is underscored in the roster of Levites who served there. Particularly prominent were Heman (v. 33; cf. 16:41), the Kohathite, Asaph (v. 39; cf. 16:37; Ps. 50, 73—83), the Gershomite, and Ethan (v. 44, probably the Jeduthun of 16:41, 42; cf. 2 Chr. 35:15; Neh. 11:17), the Merarite. Apparently each headed a temple choir, that of Heman being placed in the center. Each headed a family of singers and musicians (cf. 15:16—24; 16:4—43; 25:1). In David’s time some four thousand Levites were so designated for the temple services (cf. 23:5).” (THE KING JAMES STUDY BIBLE) (KING JAMES VERSION) (THOMAS NELSON) (Since 1798)

Let him who has an ear, hear what the Holy Spirit says to His church. Amen.
Beloved of YESHUA JESUS CHRIST, I am not sure if you have actually followed along with what my/our LORD-GOD has been teaching me/us in this Scripture from His Most Holy Word (Hebrews 11:32). If however, you have, I wonder if you have been as surprised, pleasantly surprised, at how much our LORD and His Holy Spirit has to say about the musical and singing ministry our Father-GOD had commissioned the children of Israel, concerning them singing and playing music to our LORD-GOD.
Once beloved, we had passed the names in our verse (Hebrews 11:32) I took for granted that there would be some Scripture on “Prophets” however, I was totally unaware that inside the term “Prophets” was such a rich, wealth, a gold mine, of sweet nectar our LORD-GOD has for us, including this section of “Musicians and Singers”. Amen.
I have almost been commanded to take notice and to pay attention to the amount of literature our LORD’S Holy Spirit has committed to this, obviously, great ministry; “The importance of organized music in the Temple worship of Israel” to our LORD-GOD. Amen. I find it quite interesting. Amen.
“Adversity is the test of faith; prosperity is the test of integrity.”

Have a blessed Thursday beloved of YESHUA JESUS CHRIST. Amen.
With much precious love, grace, and mercy, from our heavenly Abba-Father-GOD, our Savior and LORD-YESHUA CHRIST JESUS, and our Holy Spirit, to Israel and to you and I; Sincerely: Timothy M. Shephard. Amen.
