Genesis 4:21

And his brother's name [was] Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

Ver. 21. As handle the harp and organ.] He invented Musicam, mentis medicinam maestae. The word here rendered organ is in the Chaldee Paraphrast, a pipe. It imports loveliness and delight: for men do naturally love and delight in music. Ezekiel's hearers seemed to be much taken with his pulpit music, Eze 33:32 but proved at length like the Jassians in Strabo, who, delighted with the music of an excellent harper, ran all away as soon as the market bell rang, save only one deaf old man. These antediluvians likely were set all upon the merry mode, and not unlike the inhabitants of Tombutum in Africa, who are said to spend their whole time in piping and dancing.
