This revised volume is 40% longer than \u003cem\u003eDCH \u003c\/em\u003eII (1995), which it replaces.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eThe Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised\u003c\/em\u003e, when completed, will contain more than 6,420 Hebrew words not in BDB, and will refer to many newly published texts, including 540 Dead Sea Scrolls and 4,000 ancient Hebrew inscriptions.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New features in \u003cem\u003eDCHR\u003c\/em\u003e include: a notation of 4,285 byforms (words with the same meaning and similar form) identified for the first time; 717 verbal nouns (nouns derived from a verb) with their own articles (not previously shown in Hebrew lexica), 345 denominative verbs (verbs derived from a noun), and the semantic field to which every word belongs (a totally new feature for Hebrew dictionaries).\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Data on synonyms have been greatly expanded, and loanwords from other languages included. Articles on personal names show (for the first time) all short forms, long forms, and alternative forms of each name, the Bibliography has been updated and expanded, and 35,000 emendations of biblical texts noted. Every occurrence of each word in Classical Hebrew is noted. All the subjects and objects of verbs are listed, and the verbs used with each noun, as well as all nouns used in a construct (genitive) relation with another noun.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e As with \u003cem\u003eDCH\u003c\/em\u003e, every Hebrew word in the \u003cem\u003eDictionary\u003c\/em\u003e (except for the variant forms of a word, the byforms and the sections on synonyms) is followed immediately by an English translation, so that the \u003cem\u003eDictionary\u003c\/em\u003e can be easily understood by a person with little or no Hebrew.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e When completed, \u003cem\u003eDCHR\u003c\/em\u003e will be 5 million words in length (equivalent to 50 standard-size books), 25% longer than \u003cem\u003eDCH\u003c\/em\u003e, and 4 times the length of BDB and \u003cem\u003eHALOT\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eClines, David J. a.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - David J.A.
