Selah

"Selah" is a term found frequently in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in Psalms and some Proverbs. Its exact meaning is uncertain, but it’s generally thought to serve as a musical or literary pause, indicating a moment for reflection, meditation, or a transition in the text. It may suggest emphasizing, contemplating, or highlighting the preceding words or ideas. While its precise function remains debated, it’s understood as a cue for the reader or singer to pause and consider the message more deeply.
