All previous Biblical Hebrew lexicons have provided a modern western definition and perspective to Hebrew roots and words. This prevents the reader of the Bible from seeing the ancient authors' original intent of the passages. This is the first Biblical Hebrew lexicon that defines each Hebrew word within its original Ancient Hebrew cultural meaning.
One of the major differences between the Modern Western mind and the Ancient Hebrew's is that their mind related all words and their meanings to a concrete concept. For instance, the Hebrew word "chai" is normally translated as "life", a western abstract meaning, but the original Hebrew concrete meaning of this word is the "stomach". In the Ancient Hebrew mind, a full stomach is a sign of a full "life". The Hebrew language is a root system oriented language and the lexicon is divided into sections reflecting this root system. Each word of the Hebrew Bible is grouped within its roots and is defined according to its original ancient cultural meaning.
Also included in each word entry are its alternative spellings, King James translations of the word and Strong's number.;Indexes are included to assist with finding a word within the lexicon according to its spelling, definition, King James translation or Strong's number.

?Por que? 101 Questions about Spanish is for anyone who wants to
understand how Spanish really works. Standard textbooks and
grammars describe the "what" of Spanish - its vocabulary, grammar,
spelling, and pronunciation - but ?Por que? explains the "why".
Judy Hochberg draws on linguistic principles, Hispanic culture, and
language history to answer questions such as: Why are so many
Spanish verbs irregular? - Why does Spanish have different ways to
say "you"? - Why is h silent? - Why doesn't Spanish use
apostrophes? - Why does Castilian Spanish have the th sound? Packed
with information, guidance, and links to further research, ?Por
que? is an accessible study guide that is suitable for Spanish
students, instructors, native speakers, and the general reader. It
is a valuable supplementary text for serious students of Spanish at
all levels, from beginning to advanced. ?Por que? also covers
topics usually left to specialized books, including the evolution
of Spanish, how children and adults learn Spanish, and the status
of languages that co-exist with Spanish, from Catalan to Spanish
sign language to the indigenous languages of Latin America.
