This dictionary is much more comprehensive than Strong's Dictionary and is recommended for more in-depth study of Hebrew words. Hebrew words are grouped together according to their roots allowing for thorough word studies.

Extensive, scholarly discussion of every Hebrew word of theological significance in the Old Testament. Keyed to Strong's Concordance. (Two volume set.)

This monumental reference work contains studies of all the important words of the Old Testament and is particularly written for the busy pastor or church worker who may not possess all the technical tools of Bible scholarship.

This is a good Hebrew research tool. It's best feature is that it's only two volumes (compared to 11+ for the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament!). The entries are short compared to other theological lexicons and wordbooks, however, and you don't get as much depth as you do in other theological lexicons.

If you're looking for slightly more than a lexicon, this is a great tool. But if you really want to study Hebrew words, their range of meanings, different usage, extra-Biblical usage, etc. try the 3 vol. Theological Lexicon of the Old Testament (Jenni, Westermann) or - for the best of the best - the Theological Dictionary of the Old Testament (11 vol completed, more to come).

Discusses just about every theologically significant Hebrew word.

Easy to use and find your word in question.

Full of useful information!

Maria Cristina Nogueira from Brazil
Well organized, this book is an important tool for all of us who study the Bible looking for understanding the relationship between the New and the Old Testments. It helps us a lot, because it teaches what God really wanted to say, revealing the real meaning of the words of the old escriptures. I like it very much and use it a lot because it has always an answer to my inner questions about the word of God. It is a book no Bible student should miss.

This two volume set is exhaustive tool for the serious Old Testament student. Conveniently cross referenced to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance numbers, it doesn't take long to find what you are looking for. No one denominational bent is emphasized so it is a good tool for all denominations of the Christian faith as well as a good tool for non-Christians.

The Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament is an invalluable tool if you want to get behind every word, (except names) of the old testament text. I use it extensively and have not been able to find it's equal. The information is easy to find because it uses the strongs numbering system. This work really lets the person of serious study grasp a clearer understanding of what the scripture is saying. No serious bible student/reader should be without it.

This is a great set. I got it about 20 years ago when it first came out, and, as a pastor of over 23 years, I say "Go for it!" Although I do not refer to this work every week, it comes in handy when I need to do a Hebrew word study. Because it is cross-indexed with Strongs, you can find the Hebrew words (and their definitions/expansions) without knowing a stitch of Hebrew.

For practical ministry use, this is the set to get! It provides plenty of information, clear definitions, but does not get tedious (usually). I would recommend it over older studies which are not nearly as accurate (especially those done before the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in the 1940's).

A reviewer, a Scholar who does belive the Bible
Although this work seems to use Scholarship for the etymology of words, it tends toward a reliance of Ugaritic and Akkadian in its explanations. This also of onus lends to impute Unscriptural and somewhat erronous conclusions in their definitions. The problem being that one can not answer cogently without such a work in his/her Library.

A reviewer
I love these! It is invaluable if you want to be serious about understanding the nuances of words. It give many historical tidbits that are so wonderful. This is a little known treasure!
