Theological / Devotional

Pipes. Heb. chalilim, literally, “the pierced ones.” These instruments were double flutes or oboes. The pipes were played in pairs, with the ends held apart, each hand fingering a separate pipe and thus producing separate tones. They were used particularly for rejoicing and mourning. It is the latter use to which Jeremiah doubtless has reference here. For a further description of these instruments see Vol. III, pp. 38, 39.
