Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible
Hebrew Language by
Jeff A Benner
The authors of the Biblical text are writing from within their culture to those of the
same culture. In order to fully understand the text one needs to understand the culture
and thought processes of the Hebrew people.
All existing Hebrew Lexicons of the Bible convert the vocabulary of the ancient
Hebrews into a vocabulary compatible to our modern western language. The greatest
problem with this is that it promotes western thought when reading the Biblical text. In
this Lexicon the mind of the reader is transformed into an eastern one in order to
understand the text through the eyes of the ancient Hebrews who penned the words of
the Bible.
