Pictographic Hebrew Lexicon



All modern Hebrew dictionaries and lexicons are written from a Greek orientation, ignoring the original Hebraic concrete understanding of words. This lexicon is being written to fill this hole of Biblical understanding. The goal of the lexicon is to show the original understanding of Biblical words based on the Hebrew culture and thought so that the modern reader can see the text through the eyes of the ancient Hebrews who wrote it.

The purpose of this lexicon it to show the cultural background to the ancient Hebrew roots which are the building blocks to the Hebrew vocabulary. The Pictographic Hebrew Font will be required to view the Hebrew letters in the Lexicon. A chart of the Ancient Hebrew Alephbet is also available to assist the student in learning the letters. A list of Common biblical words will allow the student to begin learning the language and culture of the ancient Hebrews.

As you study a word entry in the Lexicon, it is necessary to study the parent root, as well as the child roots and words derived from the parent in order to fully understand the cultural background to each word. If you have any questions concerning the lexicon, please let us know by E-Mail. For a more detailed look at the Ancient Hebrew Parent and child roots, see our on-line book "The Ancient Hebrew Language and Alephbet".

At this time, the Hebrew roots beginning with an aleph are available. We hope to add additional letters in the near future.
