Summary
A Reader's Hebrew and Greek Bible: Third Edition is a classic and essential tool for students of biblical Hebrew and Greek. The Reader presents the Hebrew and Aramaic text of the Westminster Leningrad Codex (minus the critical apparatus) and the Greek text underlying the New International Version alongside the English translation.
Hebrew words that occur one-hundred times or less (twenty-five or less for Aramaic words) are given definitions in footnotes, allowing students to focus on reading, comprehension, parsing, and grammatical issues. Shaded Hebrew names that occur less than one-hundred times help ease reading, and parsing information in footnotes aid students in understanding meaning and English renderings. Ketiv/Qere readings are noted in the text throughout. The Italian Duo-Tone binding, ribbon marker, and easy-to-read Hebrew font make this Reader an attractive Bible for reading and study.
Words that appear in the New Testament fewer than thirty times are given definitions in footnotes for ease of reading, allowing students to focus on reading, comprehension, parsing, and grammatical issues. Footnotes comparing the Greek text with the critical text of USB5/NA28 are included throughout. A mini lexicon of all words occurring more than thirty times and full-color maps are included in the backmatter. The Italian Duo-Tone binding, ribbon marker, and easy-to-read Greek font make this Reader an attractive Bible for reading and study.
The new feature of this updated edition of A Reader's Hebrew and Greek Bible include an "Index of the Bible's Use of the Bible" by award-winning author Gary Edward Schnittjer. The index is based on Schnittjer's careful work of Scripture's use of Scripture and lists all allusions tied directly to the Hebrew and Greek languages. Sigla inform the reader of the type of relationship between texts. This important addition sets A Reader's Hebrew and Greek Bible apart from other Hebrew and Greek resources, promoting careful and fruitful study of the Scripture.
