Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
Psalm 135:3 Praise the LORD; for the LORD is good: sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant. 4 For the LORD hath chosen Jacob unto himself, and Israel for his peculiar treasure. 5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods.
Christians who hold that Israel’s music was no better than, equal to, or even inferior to the music of other nations do not yet understand rightly the extreme importance to God of His people offering to Him excelling worship music that is acceptable to Him.
The only nation in the history of the world that God chose and made His peculiar treasure above all other nations certainly should have had and did have the finest music in the world because that showed the glory of its God above all gods.
A careful and thorough treatment of Scripture fully supports this view because it shows that the musicians and music of the Solomonic temple excelled all the musicians and music of all the world in every respect:
