Hebrew Vocabulary List

Jack Zhang

Hello all!

This might not be related to Logos directly.

Does any one know where I can get a Hebrew vocabulary list (by frequency) that goes below 10 times? As many of you know that Van Pelt has a book with a list of Hebrew words, but only words that occur 10 or more times, but I want to find less than 10 times.

Trenchard has a list of all the Greek words, but is there one a complete one (beside a Lexicon) for Hebrew.

Peace, Jack!        *smile*             This is a book, but not a list; however you can make a list from the book using Logos.

             Actually, this book is in all (or, at least almost all) the base packages; and you probably have it.  If I haven't completely understood your needs, please get back to us; and we'll give you a better answer!                  *smile*

Building Your Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary

by George M. Landes

Society of Biblical Literature 2004

Overview

First published over thirty years ago under the title A Student's Vocabulary of Biblical Hebrew, this classic work has been completely revised, updated, and expanded by the author to assist a new generation of students in developing a basic Biblical Hebrew vocabulary. Designed with beginning Hebrew readers in mind, this valuable teaching tool shows which words occur most frequently in the Hebrew Bible and, where possible, arranges those words into meaningful groups according to their roots and cognates. Vocabularies have been kept to a manageable size, extensive cross-references document when words appear frequently with different meanings, and an index allows rapid location of every word encountered.

Careful study of this volume will be richly rewarded as students:

• quickly learn the most commonly occurring words in the Hebrew Bible,

• naturally expand their working vocabulary of related words, and

• consistently observe how Hebrew characteristically builds upon verbal roots

As a result, students who master this volume will remember words more easily, consult a lexicon less frequently but more intelligently, and translate the Hebrew Bible at sight more readily and enjoyably.

Praise for the Print Edition

I warmly welcome the appearance of this thoroughly revised and much improved edition of a standard vocabulary list by one of the master teachers of Biblical Hebrew. It is thoughtfully organized and much more user-friendly than the previous edition from three decades ago. An additional bonus is a brief outline of Hebrew grammar, with some helpful tips by the author on learning Hebrew vocabulary. Every teacher of Biblical Hebrew will be grateful to Landes for this new edition and will want to recommend this valuable resource to students.

[This] work is an excellent resource for the student endeavoring to learn Hebrew and for the teacher instructing such students. For the student who wishes to work specifically on Hebrew (over Aramaic) vocabulary, no better handbook exists in print.
