I am a motivated but struggling lay student of Biblical Hebrew for personal Bible study. I have never been good at foreign languages particularly vocabulary so I must frequently turn to a lexicon for help. I have other more comprehensive lexicons Brown Driver Briggs and Davidsons but more and more I turn to Holladay first. Holladay is more compact and user friendly but is a step up from a basic textbook lexicon. I particularly like that inflected forms are listed under the root entries to help me confirm that I have correctly parsed forms. Holladay is a perfect match for my student use and I am looking to pick up a second copy.

So hard to find this. It’s easy to understand and makes learning Biblical Hebrew translation much simpler

I like that you can find Hebrew words rather quick as compared to other lexicons. Also, Holladay sticks with the ancient definitions of the Hebrew words, which tells of the true meaning of the Word of God and not like these others that use modern definitions for ancient words. I do wish that Holladay would have corresponded his words with Strong's numbers, but there was a lot of work put into this book regardless. I consider this a great find.
This is a great dictionary. I'm very happy south it.
