Additional Material

There is additional material that I would like to have included in the Lexicon but there was not enough space. I will be including this material here.



Word Frequencies: This is a list of words grouped by the number of times they are used in the Biblical text. By studying and learning the most frequent words first you will be able to begin building your Hebrew vocabulary with the most frequent words first. You will need to add the "Early Semetic" font in your fonts folder to view the Hebrew.

Words used 500 or more times
Words used 200 to 499 times
Words used 100 to 199 times
Words used 50 to 99 times


Root Frequencies: This is a list of Hebrew roots grouped by the number of times they are used in the Biblical text. The number of times the root is used is determined by the number of times words derived from that root are used in the Biblical text. Because the meaning of a word is closely related to the meaning of the root, a good working knowledge of the common roots will aid in defining words when the word is not known. The root of a word can easily be found by removing all the prefixes, infixes and suffixes from the word in question. You will then be left with the root. You will need to add the "Early Semetic" font in your fonts folder to view the Hebrew.

Verb Chart: Using the Hebrew Root קצר, this chart lists all the possible verb conjugations. Some verbs are conjugated differently and I will be adding additional charts in the future. Keep in mind that the majority of the verbs in the Biblical text are written in the "third person, masculine, singular, perfect tense, paal form". The word "paal" is the Hebrew verb פעל meaning "work". It is also the Modern Hebrew word for "verb". The terms niphal, hiphil, etc are the word paal with the prefix or infix for that form added to the word. You will need to add the "Early Semetic" font in your fonts folder to view the Hebrew.
