An Intermediate Greek-English Lexicon (LSJI)
Overview
An Intermediate Greek Lexicon is an abridgment of Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon—the world’s most comprehensive and authoritative dictionary of ancient Greek.
Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, is an indispensable lexicographical resource for classical and biblical studies, with entries covering ancient Greek from the eleventh century BC to the Byzantine Period. The early Greek of authors such as Homer and Hesiod, classical Greek, and the Greek Old and New Testaments are included. Each entry lists not only the definition of a word, but also its irregular inflections, and quotations from a full range of authors and sources to demonstrate usage.
Based on the 1882 seventh edition of the full work, the intermediate Lexicon—the “Middle Liddell”—covers essential vocabulary for the most commonly read ancient Greek literature. It also provides help with irregular forms and citations to illustrate the history of Greek usage.
- Indispensable tool for classical and biblical studies
- Condensed version of the seventh edition of Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon

I began using this Greek Lexicon in my first year of Greek. It remains one of the most important resources I own. No student of Classical Greek or indeed New Testament Greek could possibly be without it. Although it is an abridgement of a larger work, it is by no means incomplete in its intermediate form, and in some respects is a better option than the larger edition, which is full of longer citations from classical authors. As far as using this lexicon for the study of the New Testament, let me say the following: it remains a fine lexicon even for New Testament. My reasons are as follows. First, the definitions offered in Liddell/Scott are so precise that I have never found them to be wrong and seldom found them inadequate. The men who put this work together had a masterful knowledge of Greek. Second, Liddell/Scott gives words concrete definitions that the student can memorize, unlike some other lexicons which sometimes provides too wide a range of semantic possibilities. Third, with Liddell/Scott, one can see what the word meant in classical writers and can see how it developed.

I used the paper copy of this Lexicon while I was in school and the electronic version is wonderful because I can now put the parsing info directly on my tablet. (less chance of error)
