Serious scholarship for the serious Bible scholar,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Hebrew-English Concordance to the Old Testament (Hardcover)
An essential tool for the Biblical reader who has some knowledge of Hebrew, but not enough for the all-Hebrew Even-Shoshan Old Testament concordance. As an example of its usefulness, the seven Hebrew words translated "praise" in the King James version can be easily traced individually, and understood thoroughly. The frequency of appearance is clearly marked, in all of its forms, making HEC tremendously valuable as Strong's requires the scholar to do a lot of counting over various forms of the word. Again, an example shows that _hll_ or _halal_ appears 89 times as praise, or praised, or praises, etc. Each of these forms would have to be counted individually in Strong's. The same holds true for the other words for praise, namely, tehilla, yadah, zamar, shabach, todah, and barak.A previous reviewer has mentioned disdain for the name of God. This is simply not the case. The tretragrammaton, YHWH, has been transmitted over centuries as the LORD because the name of God is SO REVERED. This is a convention of the KJV, RSV, NIV, and any other version of the Bible this reviewer has ever seen. A very helpful index based on the English of the New International Version of the Bible is included. The citations of verses within the concordance is based on the NIV - users of other translations only need to turn to the passages in their own Bibles to get the exact English word with which they will be most familiar. The only limitation this reviewer found to Kohlenberger's fine work is that his numbers are not keyed to Strong's. All in all, this is an essential tool I am pleased to have at my disposal.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent study resource,
By
This review is from: The Hebrew-English Concordance to the Old Testament (Hardcover)
This reference book (HECOT) is an excellent resource for studying the range of meanings of words in the Torah (five books). For those who read Hebrew well and are accustomed to translations published by and for Jews and use in synagogues, some caution -- at least alertness -- is advised because HECOT is based on the NIV, whose translations of words sometimes vary widely from those in the aforementioned translations (e.g. the old a new Jewish Publication Society editions, or the brand new translation published by UC Berkeley Professor Robert Alter). However, because HECOT is organized alphabetically by Hebrew words, one can always easily refer to the Hebrew text, and from there to both Jewish and non-Jewish translations such as the NIV. A good second concordance to use in tandem with this one is the Exhaustive NIV Concordance (Regency Reference Edition), also the so-called BDB lexicon of Biblical Hebrew.
