Meaning

Musician, Chief (Heb. menatstseah), the precentor of the Levitical choir or orchestra in the temple, mentioned in the titles of fifty-five psalms, and in Hab 3:19, Revised Version. The first who held this office was Jeduthun (1Chr 16:41), and the office appears to have been hereditary. Heman and Asaph were his two colleagues (2Chr 35:15).
