The Concise Dictionary of Classical Hebrew includes the new words and many of the new features found in the Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised. Unique for including texts written in Classical Hebrew written before 200 CE, this volume contains more than 6,420 Hebrew words not in BDB and refers to many newly published texts, including 540 Dead Sea Scrolls and 4,000 ancient Hebrew inscriptions, making it the most thorough Hebrew dictionary ever produced. All the words from DCHR are to be found in the CDCHR.

The CDCHR has been designed to be clear, concise and easy to use. The Hebrew words are arranged in alphabetical order, so it is not necessary to know the ‘root’ of a word to look it up in the Dictionary. All the Hebrew words and phrases quoted are accompanied by an English translation. At the end of each entry on verbs is a list of the nouns derived from that verb; and at the end of each entry on nouns a reference to the verb from which it is derived (when known). For every word the numbers of its occurrences in the four main corpora of classical Hebrew (the 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. Rich in examples and citations, this edition is an essential resource for students at all levels as well as to scholars.
