Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 21:12

_ _ take — rather, “lift up the voice” (sing) to the note of [Umbreit].

_ _ timbrel — rather, “tambourine.”

_ _ organ — not the modern “organ,” but the “pipe” (Genesis 4:21). The first clause refers to stringed, the latter, to wind instruments; thus, with “the voice” all kinds of music are enumerated.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 21:7-16.
