Hebrew Language
I'm learning Hebrew right now and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me a good Hebrew/English-English/Hebrew dictionary that would also include religious words. I'm looking for a dictionary that would show the Hebrew words with the vowel because I would not be able to read the word if the vowels are not shown (I'm not that experience as to do that). The method I have to study gives you reading practice and they specify "these are real Hebrew words" but they didn't put the translation of these words anywhere! It is frustrating to be able to read the words but not understanding anything that I have read....:confused: What's the point, I would like to say to the authors, of giving us real words, and enabling us to read them if they don't give us their meaning...What's the point of reading when you don't understand...Some reading practice are visibly Hebrew prayers.
I found some dictionaries online but I cannot type the Hebrew words as I don't have a Hebrew keyboard and for now cannot spend the money on the software. Then I found some dictionaries but the reviews say that they do not include religious words (so that won't help). I'm at the ends of my wits to try to find a way to get to understand what I'm reading. Thanks for your help :smile: Peace :hug3: |
Maybe this is not what you're looking for but as far as I know Strong's concordance has the Hebrew words used in the Bible with their meaning. Not only will it have the Hebrew but also the Greek. Hope it helps
For example, earlier today I looked up the word reproved: H843 towkechah tō·kā·khä' reproof, rebuke, reproved, arguments, misc http://www.blueletterbible.org/search.cfm |
There's no such thing as a hebrew dictionary that doesn't include religious words. Hebrew is a small and efficient language.
When I was learning Hebrew I used the Shimon Zilberman dictionary I got for free from the Jewish Agency when I made Aliyah isbn-965-222-862-1. It says it has 82,000 entries and I haven't come across a Hebrew word yet from religious or secular texts that it doesn't cover. I also used the Artscroll Interlinear Translation of the Siddur when I was learning to pray. Basically it translates every single word individually for you right there so you can learn as you pray - a genius tool. I've been in Israel for 6 years and still didn't get the hebrew sticker thingies for my keyboard lol... what I do when I need to type hebrew words is type out all the letters in order in notepad and carefully attempt to reproduce to the words that way. Might help you in a pinch. Anyways, b'hatzlacha! The Hebrew language is rich and beautiful. i pray it brings you yichus and simcha. |
Thanks Teehee & Yamah for your help :smile: I do need a real dictionary as I need to be able to get the meaning of Hebrew words that can be "table" as well as "cherubim". Some in my method are just common words but they did put full prayers. So a concordance would not do the trick.
I'm gonna look up the dictionary you spoke about Yamah, thanks for giving the ISBN! I agree with you " The Hebrew language is rich and beautiful." There is just something more about it, I've always felt that way and now that I learn it, I go from "one marvel to the other"! Peace/Shalom :hug3: |
FORWARD:
Forgive the format, but I'm not permitted to post URL's yet, so I've had to alter the format accordingly. You can copy this post into regular notepad, press control+h, type <dot> in "find what" and . in "replace with" and then press, "Replace All". Then, type <slash> in "find what" and / in "replace with" and then press, "Replace All". This will return the format correctly so that you can copy/paste the links into a browser again. Once I am allowed to add links, I'll make sure to come back through and correct these links. Again, my apologies. Note: there are also some odd errors in the way the post is presenting the text in general; chiefly, there are added spaces that I did not place, but are showing up in the final post. An example of this is the name Gesenius' below. It is being rendered as if it is Geseniu s', even though it is not written with a space between the, "u", and the, "s" :icon_frown: : en<dot>wikisource<dot>org<slash>wiki<slash>Geseniu s'_Hebrew_Grammar If you see spaces, remove them; they are not intended. Alright, here are some resources that might aid in your pursuits. This is my current compiled list I have used over the years: (I have added my thoughts and opinions on them in case it helps) Reading:

Hope that helps :wink: |
Unfortunately, I didn't realize that there was a time limit on the editing feature, so to correct the links I'll have to double-post.

Thank you so much JaysonR, for all this info and for taking the time to type all that. That was very kind of you and yes, very helpful! :hug2: I want also to extend to you a warm welcome to our community! :smile: Peace :hug3: |
Absolutely not a problem to share.
Glad to help! If you want help with anything related to this, just shoot me an IM, and I'll do what I can. If you want, I also have an anthropological timeline from 1000 BCE to 90 CE of the Hebrew peoples that I put together. (Not sure if this would be of aid to your studies or not) |
