See {Tympanum}, and cf. 2d {Timbre}, {Tymbal}.] (Mus.) A kind of drum, tabor, or tabret, in use from the highest antiquity. Miriam . . . took a timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. --Ex. xv. 20. | |

Timbrel (Heb. toph), a small drum or tambourine; a tabret (q.v.). The antiquity of this musical instrument appears from the scriptural allusions to it (Gen. 31:27; Ex. 15:20; Judg. 11:34, etc.) (See {MUSIC}.) | |
