This Dictionary (CDCHR) is a revision of the Concise Dictionary of Classical Hebrew (CDCH), with the purpose of including the new words and many of the new features found in the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised (DCHR) as compared with the original Dictionary of Classical Hebrew (DCH). When the first volume of DCH appeared in 1993, it was the first dictionary of the Classical Hebrew language ever to be published.
Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, Ben Sira, and the ancient inscriptions) are noted. All the proper names in classical Hebrew texts are included, with their correct spellings in English.
Previous dictionaries have generally been revisions and adaptations of earlier dictionaries; DCH, DCHR, The Shorter Dictionary of Classical Hebrew and this volume result from a completely fresh re-examination of the texts and an independent analysis of the meanings of Hebrew words. Rich in examples and citations, this edition will be of immense value to students at all levels, as well as to working scholars who will not always be in a position to refer to the complete DCHR.
