The Jews teach there are ten songs (shirot, Hebrew) in Scripture. Each was sung by a different person for a different reason: 1) Adam sang when his sins were forgiven; 2) Moses sang at the parting of the Red Sea; 3) Israel sang over a well of water; 4) Moses sang when he climbed Mt. Nebo; 5) Joshua sang at the standing still of the sun; 6) Deborah and Barak sang at Sisera's defeat; 7) Hannah sang when she was given Samuel, 8) David sang upon the consolidation of the kingdom of Israel; 9) Solomon sang under the anointing of the Spirit of prophecy; and 10) The Song of the Messiah yet to be sung.
