Jubal (also Yuval or Yubal; Template:Lang-he-n – Yūḇāl) is a man mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, in Genesis 4:21.

This article is about the person in Genesis 4. For other people of this name, see Jubal.

Significance

Jubal is described as the "ancestor of all who played the harp and flute." Jubal is said to have played the kinnor (Hebrew: כנור, translated 'harp' in the NIV and 'lyre' in the ESV) and the uggab (Template:Rtl-lang, translated 'flute' in the NIV and 'pipe' in the ESV). Gordon Wenham suggests that the latter may have been a reed or a Pan's pipe.[1]

Family

Jubal was a descendant of Cain, the son of Lamech and Adah, and the brother of Jabal, and half-brother of Tubal-cain and Naamah.
