hi - gā´yon , hi - gı̄´on ( הגּיון , higgāyōn ): The meaning of this word is uncertain. Two interpretations are possible; the one based on an allied Arabic root gives "a deep vibrating sound," the other derived from the Greek versions of Psalm 9:16 , where we read higgāyōn Ṣelāh , takes it to mean an instrumental interlude. See PSALMS .
