A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament

This shortened dictionary of Hebrew and Aramaic words found in the Old Testament grows out of the earlier editions of the Koehler-Baumgartner lexicon. The compilers removed scholarly source references and technical notes meant for specialists, and they reduced the number of scriptural citations. What remains is a practical reference for readers working through a passage of the Hebrew Bible who need to find the meaning of its words. It is aimed at students who are learning to translate the ancient languages.
