ASOR (Hebr. for " ten ") , an instrument " of ten strings " mentioned in the Bible, about which authors are not agreed. The word occurs only three times in the Bible, and has not been traced elsewhere. In Psalm xxxiii. 2 the reference is to " kinnor, nebel and asor
asor
English
instrument of ten strings," with a marginal note " omit " applied to " instrument." In the Septuagint
Vulgate in decachordo psalterio. Each time the word asor is used it follows the word nebel (see PSALTERY), and probably merely indicates a variant of the nebel, having ten strings instead of the customary twelve assigned to it by Josephus (Antiquities, vii. 12. 3).See also Mendel and Reissmann, Musikalisches Conversations-Lexikon, vol. i. (Berlin, 1881); Sir John Stainer, The Music of the Bible, pp. 35-37; Forkel
