Product description: Though little more than one-third the buld of the Bronw-Briver-Briggs or the larger Koehler-Baumgartner lexicons, the present work offers everything the student needs to translate an Old Testament passage.

The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew: incorporates all Hebrew from the earliest times to c.200 CE; includes all the data from Ben Sira (Ecclesiasticus), the Dead Sea Scrolls and related texts, and the Hebrew inscriptions down to 200 CE; lists and analyses all occurrences of every Hebrew word (with the exception of a few very common words); gives an English translation of every Hebrew word and phrase cited in the dictionary; provides statistics for the number of occurrences of each word in each of the four corpora of Hebrew; concentrates on the common words rather than the rare ones; indexes all the nouns to their verbal root and all the verbs to their derived nouns; is systematically based on modern linguistic principles; contains a word-frequency index and a list of all the sources for the Hebrew language, including all the manuscripts from Qumran; provides a comprehensive bibliography to scholarly studies on individual Hebrew words and an English-Hebrew index; and is available in electronic format and in a large print edition.

This work constitutes the critical edition and in-depth study of a unique dictionary of Biblical Hebrew written by Christian scholars at Ramsey Abbey in East Anglia, during the third quarter of the 13th century.

Es handelt sich um die einbändige Ausgabe der 18. Auflage des zuerst 1810/12 und 1815 von dem Hallenser Alttestamentler und Orientalisten Wilhelm Gesenius (1786-1842) herausgegebenen, seitdem immer wieder bearbeiteten Handwörterbuchs für die hebräische und aramäische Sprache des Alten Testaments: eines Standardwerkes für Generationen von Studenten, Pfarrern und Lehrern. Seine wissenschaftliche Zuverlässigkeit und der hohe Grad seiner praktischen Benutzbarkeit sind die Ursachen dafür, dass es in fast 200 Jahren seiner Existenz von anderen Wörterbüchern nicht hat verdrängt werden können. "Der Gesenius" ist zu einem Begriff geworden.Der Unterschied der 18. gegenüber der 17. Auflage besteht hauptsächlich darin, dass das Wörterbuch auf den gegenwärtigen Stand der hebraistischen und semitistischen Kenntnis gebracht wurde. Die Kunde von den semitischen Sprachen, zu denen das Hebräische und das Biblisch-Aramäische gehören, ist seit dem 1. Weltkrieg beachtlich gewachsen; ganz neue Sprachbereiche - z.B. das Ugaritische - und zahlreiche neue Texte (z.B. die Texte aus den Höhlen am Toten Meer) sind hinzugekommen, andere - wie das Akkadische und Sumerische, das Hethitische, Altsüdarabische und die Texte der nordwestsemitischen Epigraphik - haben sich quellenmäßig stark vermehrt und sind philologisch nun erst richtig erschlossen. Gleichzeitig ist versucht worden, die Vorzüge des alten "Gesenius" (übersichtliche Gliederung der Artikel, relative Ausführlichkeit bei der Wiedergabe von Formen und Zitaten mit Übersetzung, Benutzungsmöglichkeit z.T. auch als Konkordanz) zu bewahren.

The "Jastrow" is the definitive Armaic/Hebrew-to-English dictionary of the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmud, the Targumim, and Midrashic literature. This indispensable aid presents each entry fully vocalized, and then clearly defines each word in English, together with examples of the words in context.

The student of Hebrew need master a vocabulary of less than 800 words to have learned all the verbs occurring twenty-five times or more and all other words used more than fifty times in the Hebrew Old Testament. The lists that Dr. Watts has prepared are taken from W. R. Harper's Hebrew Vocabularies, which has been revised and corrected in comparison with Kohler-Baumgartner, Lexicon in Veteris Testamenti Libros. Where a verb occurs in only one stem, this is noted in the Hebrew list. When a verb has different meanings in different stems, this is noted in the English list. Nouns and adjectives from the same root are listed together so that the student may learn to distinguish them immediately. Words are arranged according to the frequency of their occurrence. The author has used these lists in mimeographed form for more than five years in teaching elementary Hebrew to theological students.

Highly professional Bible tool, using very focused in-depth articles to cover the linguistic history and usage history of the Hebrew and now Aramaic words in the Hebrew Testament.

In these volumes outstanding scholars provide in-depth and wide-ranging investigations of the historical, semantic, and theological meanings of Old Testament concepts.
