A reader's Hebrew-English lexicon of the Old Testament

by Terry A. Armstrong

This resource tool meets the need for an Old Testament translation aid on the level of Sake Kubo's Reader's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament. Developed with the student and pastor in view, it will be an indispensable help for rapid reading of the Hebrew text. The Reader's Lexicon eliminates most of the time-consuming lexical work needed for basic translation. Words that occur fifty times or less in the Old Testament are listed verse by verse in the order of their occurrence. An appendix lists all words that occur more than fifty times. Definitions are based on Brown, Driver, and Briggs's Hebrew and English Lexicon of the Old Testament, but they have also been checked against the text for meaning in context. The number at the end of the entry gives the page number in BDB where the definitions may be found. Along with the definitions of the Hebrew words are their respective frequencies both in the given book and in the whole Old Testament. - Jacket flap.
