창세기 4:20의 Halakhah

Two sources in particular demonstrate the great importance that the Torah ascribes to music. The first is the Torah’s description (Bereishit 4:20-22) of some of humanity’s first great accomplishments and advances. Included in this list are the breeding of cattle, the use of iron and copper implements (see Targum Onkelos ad. loc.), and the development of music. This shows that the Torah regards music as a core achievement of mankind.
