5.0 out of 5 stars
Perhaps the most useful book the Hebrew student will buy, April 1, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of Old Testament: Coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers (Hardcover)
This book lists every word in the Hebrew Bible alphabetically, giving every instance of the word's use-with a short quotation from the King James Version- in the bible. It is indispensible for exegesis or etymological study. Even if the reader does not know Hebrew, every English word used in the King James Bible is listed in the back of the book with the page number on which the corresponding Hebrew word can be found in the body of the book. Also, this book is about 1/3 the price of similar concordances.

4.0 out of 5 stars
one of the most comprehensive concordances out there, December 10, 2002
This review is from: The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of Old Testament: Coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers (Hardcover)
For the serious Bible student, this book is an invaluable resource. It is so comprehensive that you probably wouldn't need any other concordances.
This book has a few imperfections, though, viz.:
1. the print is relatively small. This is a small problem, though, for many people who can read small print. Not a problem for me.
2. since each entry relies on Strong's numbering, you will need a copy of Strong's concordance, assuming you are like most of us without a prior knowledge of Hebrews. This, too may not be a bad idea; I have Strong's. However, it would have been better to provide a list of Strong's entries in a couple of pages.
But for the above, the book deserves five stars. Having said all this, I would still heartily recommend Wigram's Concordance.

An Excellent Offering, January 4, 2008
This review is from: The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of Old Testament: Coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers (Hardcover)
The reviews had me expecting an inferior quality reference work, but I found it to be perfectly printed and bound. The copy I received was the sixth printing, of April 2006. The scholarship (though finished nearly 175 years ago) is excellent, thorough and easy to use. It is probably the only one of this type that anyone would ever need.
