In Numbers 12:42 there is a good example of a chorus. In Numbers 3:19 there is instruction to those that play stringed instruments. In Exodus, women were led by Miriam in song and praise using tamborines. Instruments were used also in Joshua 6:8, and instructions were given how to make instruments in Numbers 10:2. And when the temple was built, there were various groups of singers. (Ezekiel 40:44) But once one gets to the New Testament and specifically the New Testament church where did the instruments and choruses go, according to the bible? Were these no longer considered godly? Obviously, there is a point in time that God did in fact accept or allow the presence of His temple of certain instruments. Trumpets, drums, horns, maybe to call such a big assortment of people to worship. But not in the New Testament. Only God knows why. It does give one pause to think.
