ובשנים עשר יום בשנה החליל מכה לפני המזבח
ON TWELVE DAYS IN THE YEAR WAS THE FLUTE [HALIL] PLAYED BEFORE THE ALTAR:<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' On these days all the thanksgiving Psalms (Hallel. Ps. CXIII-CXVIII) were sung. The meaning here is doubtful: either, 'on these days the flute was played before the altar, whereas on other days it was played together with all other instruments on the Dukhan by the Levites', or on these vfn days alone the flute was played, on other days other instruments only. The technical term 'beat' () applies to the flute, because tunes are evoked thereon by beating with the fingers on the holes.');"><sup>4</sup></span>
