Pipe in Easton's Bible Dictionary
(1 Sam. 10:5; 1 Kings 1:40; Isa. 5:12; 30:29). The Hebrew word
halil, so rendered, means "bored through," and is the
name given
to various kinds of wind instruments, as the fife,
flute,
Pan-pipes, etc. In Amos 6:5 this word is rendered
"instrument of
music." This instrument is mentioned also in the New
Testament
(Matt. 11:17; 1 Cor. 14:7). It is still used in
Israel, and
is, as in ancient times, made of different materials,
as reed,
copper, bronze, etc.
