This is a brief cross-reference entry. For the full topic material click the following topic: Psaltery.

Viol is the KJV rendering of the Hebrew nebel at Isaiah 5:12, 14:11 and Amos 5:23, 6:5; UPDV reads "psaltery" (consistent with the rendering of nebel throughout the Psalms, Chronicles, and historical books). Older topical sources cross-reference the older term to the stringed-instrument family treated under the psaltery. See Psaltery.
