All the songs that were sung in the world are in the feminine form,16Shira and not shir. to say: Just as a female becomes pregnant, gives birth, and again gives birth, so it was, with all the troubles that befall them, they would recite songs in the feminine form. That is why Babylon, Media, Greece, and Edom arose and enslaved Israel. But in the future, there will be no more troubles, as it is stated: “For the earlier troubles will have been forgotten” (Isaiah 65:16), “They will attain gladness and joy” (Isaiah 35:10). At that moment they will recite song in the masculine form, as it is stated: “Sing to the Lord a new song [shir]” (Psalms 98:1).
