One of the standard reference works - in spite of its age -
this is one of the most frequently used tools in our language
set. Originally printed by Samuel Bagster and Sons Ltd. of
Paternoster Row, London, in 1848 - and now published by
Hendricksen in facsimile form - this is the book we most often
turn to in parsing or analysing a Hebrew word. Widely
criticised by purists as being the scourge of Hebrew scholars,
because it makes it too easy to look up a word rather than
developing skills and stamina in properly understanding the
Hebrew language grammar and syntax, it is nevertheless an
immensely useful book for beginners - because it gives an
almost immediate breakdown and derivation of every word in
the Hebrew and Aramaic scriptures.
