"This useful book is designed for English-speaking students of the Hebrew Bible who require a rudimentary tool for entering into its language. It consists of some 6,400 entries, giving not only the word as it appears in the text but also the word's root. Thus, the entry at Joseph’s name, Yosef, explains that it comes from the verb 'to add', thereby clarifying why Rachel chose that name: to ask for an additional son. Included is a user-friendly 35-page introduction to biblical grammar." — Joseph Lowin, editor in Hadassah Magazine, August/Sept. 2003
