the Hebrew Old Testament with relative ease. Listed in sequence by
chapter and verse are all words that occur fewer than fifty times
in the Old Testament, complete with translation (based on Brown,
Driver, and Briggs' Lexicon) and numbers indicating how often the
word occurs in the particular book and in the Old Testament as a
whole. At the end of each entry is the page number in Brown,
Driver, and Briggs' Lexicon where a discussion of the word can be
found. Appendixes list all Hebrew words occurring more than fifty
times in the Old Testament and all Aramaic words occurring more
