The complete vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible, including those parts of books written in Aramaic, is included in this two-volume study edition. The dictionary combines scholarly thoroughness with easy accessibility by listing entries in alphabetical order rather than according to their roots. This edition is an unabridged version of the five volume edition of "The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament."
This is the Study Edition of the The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament, which has proven to be a valuable resource for scholars and students, now published in two handy volumes. In this Study Edition the complete vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible, including texts in Aramaic, is available. The dictionary combines scholarly thoroughness with easy accessibility, and so meets the needs of a wide range of users. The enormous advances that have taken place in the field of Semitic linguistics since the days of the older dictionaries of Classical Hebrew are well documented and assessed, as well as the often detailed discussions in modern Bible commentaries of words where the meaning is particularly difficult. The alphabetical ordering of entries rather than the traditional arrangement of words according to their roots is particularly helpful to the new student, and also saves the advanced user much time. This 2 volume edition is an unabridged version of the five volume edition of The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament.

This set replaces the 5-volume set with ISBN 9789004119567.
