1Chr 25:1
- he prophesied with his lyre?
- if prophesy is preaching (a.k.a. words) then how can we prophesy without words?!
- …it must be more
- OR maybe it is implied that he sang and played at once
- אבנ - who should prophesy, bubbling over, the act of prophesying
- א’בנ - prophet
- …so, the sense is the prophet doing what he should do - proclaiming!
- …there must be Word involved, somehow
