English to Hebrew dictionary

While I have my own approaches that I use regularly to translate a word from English to Hebrew, and vice a versa, what is the best way or easiest way to translate a word from English to Hebrew.

A related question, is what is the easiest way to translate from Hebrew to English, especially when some of the lexicons don't recognize the Hebrew word I am looking up.

Thanks,

Gregorio

You might use the BWS - English --> Hebrew on the left; Hebrew --> English on the right. Can you give some examples of Hebrew words that aren't recognized? It is usually a difference in lemmas between dictionaries or special purpose lexicons that don't intend complete coverage.

MJ's approach is most accurate and flexible (english > hebrew).

For quick lookup, I use https://www.logos.com/product/1213/new-strongs-guide-to-bible-words . It's an oldie, cheap, and works off of the KJV english, but shows both the hebrew and greek at the same time. It's hooked to strongs, though I have it bounce to DBL.

Regarding hebrew lookup, unless it's been tagged or a lexical entry, you're out of luck in Logos. They have analytical lexicons (the term) for greek, latin, syriac, etc ... just not hebrew.

Thank you very much MJ and Denise. I have re-arranged my work space so that I have one of these word finding programs to translate to English and one to translate to Hebrew. By the way, it was nice seeing the word HESED in yours, MJ.

Yes, Denise described my problem very well. Unless I use the root of a word, my Lexicons do not recognize it. And yes, I love my ANALYTICAL HEBREW AND CHALDEE LEXICON by Benjamin Davidson, and would be one of the first to purchase it if it ever gets produced by LOGOS / FAITHLIFE. It would be a great tool to go along with all my other lexicons. I can still find out the meaning of the words, most of the time, but it just takes longer to do so.

Any chance that Davidson's work or another analytical Hebrew lexicon might be produced?

Thanks and best wishes from Chile.
