A Concise Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament has been designed as an up-to-date working tool of modest price and compass for the student of biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. Till now, the English-speaking student of Hebrew has had to rely on expensive and complex large-scale lexicons or pocket-size glossaries.
The present work thus fills a long felt need. Though little more than one-third the size of the Brown-Driver-Briggs or the larger Koehler-Baumgartner lexicons, it offers everything the student needs to translate an Old Testament passage. It is a composite work: the first third based on the third edition of the Koehler-Baumgartner lexicon, revised by Baumgartner alone (German edition, first fascicle 1967); the second third on Baumgartner's own manuscript (as far as it was completed up to the time of his death) for the second fascicle of the German edition, as yet unpublished; and the final portion a revision of the English material in the Koehler-Baumgartner first and second editions (published in 1953 and 1958).
