JEDUTHUN . An unintelligible name having to do with the music or the musicians of the Temple. According to 1 Chronicles 25:1 etc., it was the name of one of the three musical guilds, and it appears in some passages to mask the name Ethan . Jeduthun ( Jedithun ) occurs in the headings of Psalms 39:1-13; Psalms 62:1-12; Psalms 77:1-20 , and appears to refer to an instrument or to a tune. But in our ignorance of Hebrew music it is impossible to do more than guess what Jeduthun really meant.
