The exegetical dictionary of the Bible is more than just a practical and thorough alphabetical guide to the German translation of the Hebrew and Greek words used in both Testaments. Thousands of alphabetically ordered articles are available according to the numbering system of the Elberfeld Study Bible. Each article is divided into two sections - words of the Old Testament (Hebrew) and words of the New Testament (Greek) - with an entry for the Hebrew or Greek word along with its transliteration, translation, range(s) of meaning, and comments on its use in various biblical contexts. A comprehensive system of cross-references helps the reader find different words as well as discuss related words and themes. The exegetical dictionary of the Bible exceeds all expectations.
