Kinnor (Hebrew: [[כִּנּוֹר]]) is an ancient Israelite musical instrument in the yoke [[lute]]s family, the first one to be mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Its exact identification is unclear, but in the modern day it is generally translated as "[[harp]]" or "[[lyre]]", and associated with a type of lyre depicted in Israelite imagery, particularly the Bar Kokhba coins. It has been referred to as the "national instrument" of the Jewish people, and modern luthiers have created reproduction lyres of the kinnor based on this imagery. The word has subsequently come to mean violin in Modern Hebrew. | |||
