- Jubal, the other son of Adah, full brother of this Jabal, was a man of a nature that likes of sounds and concordances, and of the sweetnesses of them more than of anything; and Moses calls him, in the fourth chapter of the Genesis, father of all the singers, because he found for the first time the art of music, which is the art of singing and making sounds
