Information about the Biblical Tabret ?
The Hebrew word pronounced tofe is variously translated as either tabret, timbrel or tambourine - the King James Version uses both tabret and timbrel. The English "tabret" is derived from an Old French and Spanish word, tabor (or tabour), which was a small hand-held drum, often highly-ornamented, beaten with a single stick, and usually played in accompaniment to one or more of singing and string or wind instruments. That definition agrees with the usual Biblical references to a "tabret" e.g.
Yahweh himself created the tabret in the beginning as an adornment of worship, praise, and glory. We carry these instruments of worship to praise and magnify Yahweh as well .
Although the word Tabret has been changed in most Biblical translations to "timbrel" or "tambourine," Some bible translations still refers to these instruments of worship as "tabrets." The words tabret and timbrel are quite Biblical and are mentioned several times in the Tanakh .Tabret is considered an archaic term according to Modern day translators.In the King James Version Tabret is used,yet all other translations have used timbrel and tambourine which are similar but not the same.
1. A tabret is a small tabor.
2. A tabor is a small drum with one head.
3. A taboret is a small tabor which consists of a small seat without an arm or backing as well as a small frame for holding material while being upholstered.
4. A tabour is a drum; it consists of a circular frame of two hoops fitting withing one another in which a cloth is stretched.
5. A taboret is a strong material with stripes.

Timbrel or tabret (the tof of the ancient Hebrews, the deff of Islam, the adufe of the Moors of Spain), the principal musical instrument of percussion of the Israelites, similar to the modern tambourine. The word timbrel is used in the Old Testament in both singular and plural form, so as to suggest that the former referred to a hoop of wood or metal over which was stretched a parchment head; while the plural was perhaps used to designate the tambourine with bells or jangles fixed at intervals in hoops. In Nahum 2:7, where the word "tabering" occurs, it means beating on the breast, as drummers beat on the tabret. The Israelites learned to use the timbrel during their sojourn in Egypt, and it has been suggested that as the Egyptians used it to scare away their evil spirit Typhon, the word tof is derived from the latter. The tabret or timbrel was a favorite instrument of the women, and was used with dances, as by Miriam, to accompany songs of victory, or with the harp at banquets and processions; it was one of the instruments used by King David and his musicians when he danced before the Ark of the Covenant. It was also used in the valley of Hinnom at the sacrificial rites.
