(Heb. menatstseah), the precentor of the Levitical choir or orchestra in the temple, mentioned in the titles of fifty-five psalms, and in Habakkuk 3:19 , Revised Version. The first who held this office was Jeduthun (1 Chronicles 16:41 ), and the office appears to have been hereditary. Heman and Asaph were his two colleagues (2 Chronicles 35:15 ).
