Book Overview

Now available for the first time in a paperback format, The Oxford English-Hebrew Dictionary is a landmark in the description of modern Hebrew. Using principles developed in English lexicography but never before applied to Hebrew, it is an essential reference for serious English and Hebrew users alike, whether students, scholars, translators, or in professional contexts. The dictionary reflects the development of Hebrew in the twentieth century, and with over 50,000 entries offers extensive coverage of current idioms and phrases, slang and colloquialisms, technical and scientific terminology, academic discourse, legal and medical terminology, American and Australian terms, and a labeling system allowing easy identification of senses, contexts, and registers. For anyone interested in learning or translating modern Hebrew, The Oxford English-Hebrew Dictionary is an invaluable resource.

Does Not Give Hebrew Version of English Word, But Instead Gives the Word As WRITTEN in Hebrew

Extremely disappointed. I thought this was an English dictionary with the Hebrew word pronunciation beside it. Instead, what it has is the English word with the word WRITTEN in Hebrew beside it. A person has no way of learning to say an English word in Hebrew. If you want to learn Hebrew words this is NOT the book for you. Wish I could return it. Total waste of money.
