Jubal
Lamech’s son by Adah; invented the harp and organ (pipe), i.e. stringed and wind instruments (Gen 4:21). Brother of Jabal, the beginner of pastoral life. The connection herein is implied between nomadic life and music, which can be practiced in the leisure afforded by such a life. Pan and Apollo, to whom the Greeks attributed the invention of the pipe and lyre respectively, were represented as shepherds.

Jubal
JABAL and JUBAL
The sons of Lamech and Adah. (See Gen 4:20-21) The former was the father of those who lodge in tents, and the latter of those who handle the pipe or organ; by which is meant, that these men were the first inventors of those things. The name of both is one and the same meaning, like the Jobel or trumpet, somewhat that like sound glides away, and is lost in the air.
JUBAL
The son of Lamech, (Gen 4:21) He invented instruments of music. His name is from Jobel, he that produceth.
