a little confusing with the arrangement of definitions. Hard to tell which definition co-incides with a word.

I bought this dictionary to help my chilren with their school work. If they get stuck on a word that they didn't know, all they had to do was go to this dictionary look up the word and that would give them the english.

They did not have a lot of the words that the kids are learning in the bible. I had to remember what the root of the word was and try to look it up from there.

The good part about the book is that my kids are able to use this book without me and can do a lot of their homework on their own. I would recommend this book to friends but advise them that they will still need a hebrew/english dictionary to help out in a pinch.
