PIPE
A musical wind instrument, consisting of a tube with holes, like a flute or clarinet, 1Sa 10:5 1Ki 1:40 Isa 5:12 30:29 Jer 48:36 Mat 9:23 . The double pipe had two tubes, uniting in the mouthpiece; the tube played with the left hand emitting a few deep sounds, and serving as a base. The Scotch Deputation of Inquiry speak of overtaking among the hills of Judea “an Arab playing with all his might upon a shepherd’s pipe made of two reeds. This was the first time we had seen any marks of joy in the land, for certainly ‘all joy in darkened, the mirth of the land is gone,'” Isa 24:11 . See MUSIC.

Pipe
(1 Sam. 10:5; 1 Kings 1:40; Isa. 5:12; 30:29). The Hebrew word halil, so rendered, means “bored through,” and is the name given to various kinds of wind instruments, as the fife, flute, Pan-pipes, etc. In Amos 6:5 this word is rendered “instrument of music.” This instrument is mentioned also in the New Testament (Matt. 11:17; 1 Cor. 14:7). It is still used in Palestine, and is, as in ancient times, made of different materials, as reed, copper, bronze, etc.

Pipe
chaliyl, “to bore.” Representing wind instruments, as the harp represents “stringed instruments”. The pipe single or double, the flute; one of the simplest and oldest of musical instruments, the accompaniment of festivity (1Ki 1:40; Luk 7:32; Isa 5:12), religious services (1Sa 10:5), and processions (Isa 30:29). Also suited by its plaintive softness to mourning (Mat 9:23; Jer 48:36). The “shawm” of which the clarionet is an improvement, may be from chaliyl through the French chalumeau, German schalmeie.

Pipe
PIPE ().The verb is found only in the Gospels (Mat 11:17 || Luk 7:32), where the children say: We have piped unto you and ye have not danced. The noun is found in 1Co 14:7. The pipe was a wind instrument. It was perforated with two, three, or four holes, and was either single or double. The single form was played vertically or horizontally; in the latter case the word flute would be a better rendering. The single instrument was played with two hands, the double with one hand for each pipe. Its range was naturally limited, its music monotonous. The word gb, also translation by Revised Version NT 1881, OT 1885 pipe, in the Targums was an instrument of similar structure, and has been translated by the Vulgate organum and Authorized Version organ (Gen 4:21, Job 21:12; Job 30:31, Psa 150:4).

The simplest of musical instruments, often made of a reed, with holes to vary the notes. They were sometimes double, as seen on the Egyptian monuments, and in present use in Egypt: a number of them fastened together was called an ‘organ.’ 1Sa 10:5; 1Ki 1:40; Isa 5:12; Isa 30:29; Jer 48:36; Eze 28:13; 1Co 14:7.

Pipe
Pipe. (Hebrew, chalil.) The Hebrew word, so rendered, is derived from a root signifying “to bore, perforate”, and is represented, with sufficient correctness, by the English “pipe” or “flute,” as in the margin of 1Ki 1:40. The pipe was the type of perforated wind instruments, as the harp was of stringed instruments. It was made of reed, bronze or copper. It is one of the simplest, and therefore, probably, one of the oldest, of musical Instruments.
It is associated with the tabret as an instrument of a peaceful and social character. The pipe and tabret were used at the banquets of the Hebrews, Isa 5:12, and accompanied the simpler religious services, when the young prophets, returning from the high place, caught their inspiration from the harmony, 1Sa 10:5, or the pilgrims, on their way to the great festivals of their ritual, beguiled the weariness of the march with psalms sung to the simple music of the pipe. Isa 30:29.
The sound of the pipe was, apparently, a soft wailing note, which made it appropriate to be used in mourning, and at funerals, Mat 9:23, and in the lament of the prophet, over the destruction of Moab. Jer 48:36. It was even used in the Temple choir, as appears from Psa 87:7. In later times, the funeral and death-bed were never without the professional pipers or flute-players, Mat 9:23, a custom which still exists. In the social and festive life of the Egyptians, the pipe played as prominent a part as among the Hebrews.

Pipe
Zec 4:12 (c) We may take this to be a symbol of the ministering Christian who, by faith and prayer, is joined with the resources of Heaven. GOD brings these down to the hearts of men for their help, comfort and encouragement. Each Christian should be a golden pipe to transfer Heaven’s assets to man’s necessities. He should make this pipe as large as possible.
