Selah

Selah , noun

[Hebrew selāh.]

(Scripture) A word of doubtful meaning, occuring frequently in the Psalms; by some, supposed to signify silence or a pause in the musical performance of the song.
Beyond the fact that Selah is a musical term, we know absolutely nothing about it. — Dr. W. Smith (Bib. Dict.)
