A Reader's Hebrew Bible: Preview

[Philip Brown]

Hello All,

In May 2008 Zondervan will be releasing A Reader's Hebrew Bible, a companion volume to its Reader's Greek New Testament.

Key elements of this volume

• Text: Leningrad Codex minus masorah
• Words glossed: all words, excluding proper nouns, that occur less than 100x (Hebrew) or less than 25x (Aramaic).
• Glosses: Derived primarily from HALOT & BDB. Holladay, DCH, and others used
• Proper nouns: Occurrences <100x are screened in gray for ease of identification.
• Kethib/Qere: Kethib and Qere marked by raised K and Q respectively. Kethib are vowelless, Qere are pointed.

If you are interested in previewing the volume, I have posted a preview of it on my website here, which includes the TOC, Introduction, and parts of Genesis, Amos, and Ezra.

As noted in the introduction, BibleWorks was the workhorse for the production of this volume. I am very grateful for Michael Bushell's support for this project. Without BW and Mike's help, the project would never have made it to press.

If you have comments or questions about the volume, please direct them to readershebrew@gmail.com.
