This morning I found a good illustration for why it is important to look at the whole picture when trying to determine "what the Bible says."
As choir members, we've all cringed when a conductor addresses "singers and musicians," but did you know that it has Biblical imprimatur?
Your procession is seen, O God,
the procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary—
the singers in front, the musicians last....— Psalm 68:24-25, English Standard Version
The King James Version is kinder, saying, "The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after."
