# trigon

noun

«trigon» in the English dictionary: in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## In Jewish tradition

One of the instruments in Nebuchadnezzar's orchestra, whose sound told the people to bow to the golden image.

**Interpretation.** Tradition reads the music as a test of loyalty: Daniel's friends refused to bow, showing that Jews must serve God alone, even when facing death.

### Meaning

A triangular stringed musical instrument, a kind of small harp. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/T/trigon/#m1)
