John Joseph Owens: Analytical Key to the Old testament, vol. 3 (Ezra-Song of Solomon)

Product detailed description

Students of the Hebrew Old Testament have never had so powerful a tool at their disposal as the Analytical Key to the Old Testament.

Moving through the Old Testament verse by verse, the Analytical Key gives each word or phrase its grammatical identification, the page number in the Brown, Driver, and Briggs Hebrew lexicon where the word appears, and an English translation. For verb forms it also supplies the root. The Analytical Key treats every word in the Hebrew Bible.

"The Analytical Key has been compiled to enable you to make ready use of your lexicon for every word in context," the author tells the reader. "The grammatical information and the dictionary page number for each word provide you with a basis for an interpretation of the text of the Old Testament."

The Hebrew text in the Analytical Key is the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. The English translation generally follows the Revised Standard Version, occasionally preferring a more literal rendering "since the goal is to discover what the Hebrew text means."
