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.

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.

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.

Top notch. Well worth the price. I'm a pastor and I find it an invaluable resource!

To have the Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament without having the Englishman's Greek Concordance of the New Testament would be like having a pepper shaker without its complimentary salt shaker!

Seriously though, I must say this reference book is a necessity for any serious bible scholar. I've given my in-depth opinion on Englishman's counter-part, The Englishman's Greek Concordance of New Testament: Coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers that ought to be just as helpful when considering The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament.

This printing (2006) has 127 pages missing from it. I bought mine last year and have just noticed it.

Never received ANY of these books! NONE! Know Excellent!

Post Office cannot find! Bummer!

I'm disappointed with both of Wigram's concordances -- this Hebrew one and his Greek one. I guess I should have bought Kohlenberger's concordance (smile). The print quality is poor.
