Customer Reviews

Excellent for succinct word searches

this dictionary is excellent for quick references to words. I primarily use it when I am reading old testament biblical texts. It is easy for me to speedily find any word without the lengthy details of a lexicon. It is lightweight and portable. For most words, it only gives one definition, but it is outstanding for quick reference. I have never come across a word I was looking for and could not find it

Very Practical

This dictionary is very practical, quick and mobile. You can put in your bag and go around with. It is an indispensable tool for Hebrew learners, beginners and medium level.

A very handy tool

I have used this dictionary for years. It is handy and quick. Its definitions are not really extensive, and it does not give you sample sentences, and illustrations of diverse usage. But it is quick and largely accurate, and most often very helpful.

Best one I've found

I recommend this dictionary to students of Hebrew. I find it better than Zilberman, and Ben Yehuda is full of mistakes. For a paperback size book its coverage is very good.It's true it's from 1975, but doesn't seem to matter.(...)

The best dictionary I can find

As a student learning Hebrew, I have been looking for a small, cheap, concise dictionary that is easy to carry around, yet has every definition in it that I will need. After looking through about a dozen dictionaries, this is the one I chose. I prefer it over all the others for a few reasons. First, as I mentioned earlier, it has every word which I have needed to look up. Other dictionaries I looked at were thicker, but didn't have the definitions I needed. Second, it is very cheap. Only seven dollars for something of this quality! You can't find a deal like that with many other dictionaries! And last, it is the perfect size to carry around with you when you travel. Sure, it won't fit in your pocket; but you can keep it in your car, your purse, or any other bag you may be carrying around!
