About this listen
Cover Art: Gail Nobles
In a fascinating biblical story, we learn that the first harp was created by a man named Jubal, who is a descendant of Cain. Jubal is famously referred to as the "father of all who play the harp and organ," according to the book of Genesis. This suggests that he is seen as the very first musician in history.
It's important to note that when we see the word "organ" in this context, it doesn’t refer to the large pipe organs we think of today. Instead, it likely means a simple instrument, such as a mouth organ or a type of Pan flute.
Jubal’s contributions marked a significant moment in human history, as this invention symbolizes the beginning of music and the arts. Alongside Jubal, we also have his brothers who contributed different skills to society. His brother Jabal is recognized as the ancestor of those who raise livestock, while their half-brother Tubal-Cain is known for his expertise in working with metals.
Together, these figures illustrate the early development of music and agriculture, showing how different talents emerged as civilization progressed.
I’m Gail Nobles. Thank you very much for listening.
