Abstract
This essay began simply as an attempt to identify the enigmatic instruments in Nebuchadnezzar’s orchestra. Along the way it became apparent that the study of these instruments was firmly attached to certain entrenched assumptions of biblical interpretation. While these assumptions await future investigation, my hope here is primarily to help the reader hear Nebuchadnezzar’s orchestra as its first audience did.
