Louw-Nida

Tom Lyle

Hello.

I don't own the Louw-Nida Lexicon, but I regularly see references to the Louw-Nida in my DBL Hebrew Lexicon when I'm looking up a word in the Old Testament.  My questions are 1) Why are there references to, and definitions attributed to, a Greek lexicon (Louw-Nida) listed in a Hebrew lexicon (DBL)? and 2) Are the definitions given reliable?

Thanks!

See the Author's Preface for his explanation of why they are there
