And his brother's name was Jubal
This was another son of Lamech by Adah, and his name differs only
in one letter from his brother's;
he was the father of all such that handle the harp and
organ:
he was the inventor of instrumental music, both of stringed
instruments, such as were touched by the fingers, or struck with
a quill, as the "harp"; and of wind instruments, such as were
blown, as the "organ", which seems not to be the same we call so,
being a late invention; but however a pleasant instrument, as its
name signifies. Jubal is thought by some to be the same with
Apollo, to whom with the Greeks the invention of the harp is
ascribed; and some have been of opinion, that the jubilee trumpet
was so called from Jubal, ( Leviticus
25:9 ) . Sanchoniatho
