The Symbolarium Dictionary of Aramaic and Hebrew: a Modern Reference Lexicon Biblical Hebrew — with Complete English-to-Hebrew Reverse Index

THE SYMBOLARIUM DICTIONARY OF ARAMAIC AND HEBREWThe classic lexicon of the Hebrew Bible - modernized, and for the first time, made to run in both directions.For over a century, students of Scripture have reached for the great public-domain lexicons - Brown-Driver-Briggs, Strong's, and Jastrow - for the meaning of a Hebrew or Aramaic word. This edition takes that authoritative foundation and rebuilds it for the modern reader: the Victorian abbreviations expanded, the dense scholarly apparatus distilled into clear, structured senses, and the whole set in clean, fully-pointed Hebrew type.Inside you will find: - Nearly 7,000 headwords covering the core vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Aramaic in a single volume.- Every entry in pointed Hebrew script with SBL academic transliteration, part of speech, and clearly numbered senses.- Verbs organized by their binyanim (Qal, Niphal, Piel, Hiphil, and the rest), so the whole range of a root is visible at a glance.- Occurrence counts and hapax flags, with cross-references to Strong's numbers for quick lookup.The feature no classic lexicon offered - a reverse index: - Over 8,000 English terms mapped back to the Hebrew and Aramaic words that express them.- Look up "covenant," "steadfast love," or "to redeem" and find every word behind it - the tool the seminary shelf has always been missing.The combined reference the market has lacked: where the tradition forces you to keep a Hebrew lexicon and an Aramaic lexicon side by side, this single volume covers both - the Hebrew of Genesis and the Psalms and the Aramaic of Daniel and Ezra, set in comparison throughout.A companion to The Symbolarium Grammar of Aramaic and Hebrew. Built to survive a specialist's scrutiny and to look at home on a collector's shelf.Updating the classics - Gesenius, Brown-Driver-Briggs - for the modern reader.
