聖經裡的nebel是怎樣的樂器？是「瑟」嗎？

「The nebel…comes from a Hebrew root meaning “skin-bottle” or “jar”; it has a waterskin-shaped sound box.」(Philip J. King and Lawrence E. Stager, Life in Biblical Israel [Louisville, KY: Westminster John Knox Press, 2001], 292.)

Othmar Keel, The Symbolism of the Biblical World: Ancient Near Eastern Iconography and the Book of Psalms (Timothy J. Hallett trans.; New York, Seabury Press, 1978), 349：「The obvious suggestion is that nēbel denoted this curved type of lyre.」See picture 233 on p.169. 

See the coins of the Jewish revolt against Roman domination (A.D. 132-36). 在這兩個錢幣上可以清楚看見kinnor和nebel形狀的分別，也看得見nebel的形狀像瓶子。

「瓶琴」。
