Book excerpt: The Dictionary of Classical Hebrew is the first dictionary of the classical Hebrew language to cover not only the biblical texts but also Ben Sira, the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Hebrew inscriptions. This Dictionary covers the period from the earliest times to 200 CE. It lists and analyses every occurrence of each Hebrew word that occurs in texts of that period, with an English translation of every Hebrew word and phrase cited. Among its special features are: a list of the non-biblical texts cited (especially the Dead Sea Scrolls), a word frequency index for each letter of the alphabet, a substantial bibliography (from Volume 2 onward) and an English Hebrew index in each volume.This revised Aleph edition is now 40% longer than the 1993 edition. Many Qumran texts had not appeared in time to be used, and there was no bibliography, and little reference to 'new words' that had been proposed since the time of BDB.--Sheffield Phoenix Press
