Book Description

ISBN-10: 9004115285 | ISBN-13: 978-9004115286 | Publication Date: October 18, 2000 | Edition: New edition

This is the English version of Ludwig Koehler and Walter Baumgartmer's Hebrew dictionary. It aims to offer the best of modern lexical research for students of the text of the Bible. The dictionary, published in three volumes, contains the complete vocabulary of the Hebrew Bible, extended with variants from Ugaritic, Akkadian and other Oriental languages and Samaritan textual traditions, the Ben Sira fragments, the Dead Sea Scrolls and more. It takes advantage of the advances that have been made in Semitic linguistics since earlier publications. Another feature is that it offers a strictly alphabetical order of entries rather than an arrangement by verbal roots. This feature should make the dictionary useful for the beginning student of classical Hebrew, but should also save the advanced user some time. Specialist users will find bibliographic information on Old Testament exegesis.

Editorial Reviews

Review

'..".The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament includes a large amount of valuable new material, and it is the most up-to-date, and in several ways the best, modern lexicon of the Old Testament in Hebrew.'
J.A. Emerton, "Vetus Testamentum
'"The editor, Mervyn Richardson, and the publisher have done extremely well in the preparation of the English version of Koehler and Baumgartner's well-known dictionary. It is clear, well set out and even more attractive than the original German edition. The dictionary in this new form will have a very good future and will compete very well with other works now appearing.'
Professor James Barr, "The Divinity School. Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee
'..". an extremely attractively produced and easy to use lexicon, which will be essential for all students of Hebrew and which will greatly assist them in their reading of the Old Testament.'
The Expository Times.
'"The publishers should be commended for making Koehler/Baumgartner Lexicon available in a Hebrew/Aramaic-English version and for their commitment to complete the project in a relatively short period of time. This edition will certainly be an indispensable reference tool for years to come, one which all serious interpreters of the Old Testament must consult.'
Robert B. Chisholm Jr., "Biblioteca Sacra.
