Vocabulary Triage
Life is triage. We all must choose how to do the most in a short amount of time. A Student’s Vocabulary for Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic helps by presenting the words used most frequently in the Hebrew Bible. Using this book, students of Biblical Hebrew can learn first the words that they most need to learn. If only other tasks in life came so splendidly prioritized!If you are interested in a similarly prioritized audio vocabulary builder for Biblical Hebrew, consider Old Testament Hebrew Vocabulary: Learn on the Go. Learning by reading differs from learning by hearing, so you may find it most productive to use both products concurrently. For a somewhat prioritized audio vocabulary for Modern Hebrew, consider Vocabulearn Hebrew: Level 1 (Language Power), Hebrew/English: Level 1: VocabuLearn: Original Format, Vocabulearn Hebrew Level 1 (VocabuLearn), or VocabuLearn: Hebrew, Level 1 (all four different formats of the same basic product).All these products are variations on flashcards. For more conventional paper flashcards (also prioritized), consider Old Testament Hebrew Vocabulary Cards (ZONDERVAN VOCABULARY BUILDER SERIES) or Biblical Hebrew Vocabulary Cards or Modern Hebrew Vocabulary Cards: Academic Study Card Set.

Excellent for what it is designed to do
This was just was I was looking for. Vocabulary words are arranged by order of frequency of occurrence and in lists that are of a manageable size. I would compare this book to Metzger’s Lexical Aids for Students of New Testament Greek, which I have found very helpful for that language. (I note, however, that Metzger includes much more information than simply word lists.)The advantage of memorizing words by frequency of occurrence should be obvious: It speeds up the ability to read the text with some level of comprehensive. For example, words that occur more than 2000 times will show up several times on nearly every page of the Hebrew Bible, whereas a word that shows up only a few times throughout will rarely be encountered.In addition to the Hebrew word lists there is also a complete list of Aramaic words (these occur mostly in Daniel and Ezra). That said, the Hebrew lists only go as far down as 10 occurences. For words occurring fewer times, you would need to consult a complete lexicon or concordance.

Recommend for beginners
I was concerned about the print Clarity and text quality based on some other reviews. Happy to report it is legible. Also this version includes the syllabification in the transliteration- very helpful for a beginner like myself. The print is smallish, like newspaper font. Great book for the price!

Vocabulary guide for Hebrew/Aramaic – a hit!
Having studied Hebrew for 18 years, I have found this particular resource to be invaluable in keeping up with Hebrew vocabulary. After my first guide deteriorated, I decided to by another one from Amazon. I recently started studying Aramaic, and knew this tool could help. I promise you, I was not disappointed! Having a full-time life, family and ministry can make keeping up with Biblical languages next to impossible. I have many vocabulary helps in my library – both in electronic and book form. This guide is still the best, due to its size and utility of word frequency to aid in locking the words into memory. Whether you are new to the study of Biblical Hebrew/Aramaic, or a guy like me who aims to keep using the Biblical languages for God’s glory and exposition of the Word – buy this tool, its a hit!

You are going to need a magnifiying glass!
The book is ok if you are using it in conjunction with taking a Biblical Hebrew class. The print is rather small, and for a beginner, I would like to see larger print so you can learn to recognize the letters better and especially the vowel markings. If you are an older student like I am, then larger print is even more needed. Other than that, it is a good book to learn Biblical Hebrew words, but the definitions are very basic and do not give you the full meaning of the word, or how the meaning of the word can change in context. It’s ok as a reference book, but you will need others, and if you want to commit to memorizing certain words that are frequently used in Scripture. I probably wouldn’t have bought this book had I seen if before hand, but would have just purchased a good interlinear.
