Summary: For Spinoza Fans.
Review: Many Spinozistic insights are embedded in Biblical Hebrew words.Strong's coding numbers allows the Bible student wihout a knowledge of Hebrew to use this classic work to find the precise meaning and connotations of the Hebrew or Aramaic word behind the English word being studied. Being a lexicon, its entries are more exhaustive than those in Strong's Concordance.

Summary: Gesenius - Out of Date & Touch
Review: This book was one I used in Seminary back in 1962-65. It makes no use of any recent discoveries and any of the Urgaritic findings. You'll do much better finding something more up to date.

Summary: Vital scripture study resource. Don't need to know Hebrew.
Review: Why a lexicon? "In the beginning was the WORD." Word usage is enormously helpful to Biblical understanding. H.W.F. Gesenius (mid 1800's) is acclaimed as the Noah Webster of Old Testament Hebrew lexicons (dictionary). He brings to the Old Testament a wonderful blend of Christian/Jewish background and insight. Be sure to note not only the word you are looking up, but also the words that surround it, for they too often lend very interesting and even uncanny insight (divine providence). See also Spiros Zodhiates' "The Complete Word Study Dictionary: New Testament." e.g. Word 2000 in Zod.: "dangerous, near to falling." Word 2000 in Ges.: "utter destruction." Commentary on Y2K?
