Timbrel

A timbrel is a tambourine or similar instrument.

After the Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, Miriam and her fellow Israelite women celebrated by playing timbrels and dancing.

Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dancing. (Exodus 15:20, NASB)
