Students and teachers of the biblical languages often disagree sharply as to the merit and proper use of analytical lexica. But for those who find them valuable, this volume of a new series will probably prove to be the most ‘user-friendly’ tool so far created for the OT. Organized in verse-by-verse sequence, each word of the Hebrew and Aramaic appears on a separate line followed by its parsing or grammatical identification, the page number in Brown-Driver-Briggs on which that word’s explanation begins, and a sample English translation often but not always paralleling the rsv.
