Each Hebrew word found in the Hebrew Bible is listed with every Greek word used to translate it in the Septuagint. When doing a Hebrew word study it is beneficial to look up each occurrence of this word in an English translation to get a complete understanding of the words meaning. The same can now be done with the Septuagint in order to get an understanding of what these Hebrew words meant 2,000 years ago. This book is meant to be a supplement to the Hatch and Redpath Concordance as the words are keyed to it, but, can be used just as easily without it. If you can read Greek you can look up the Greek words in any Greek/English Dictionary for their meaning. If you have the Hatch and Redpath Concordance this is an invaluable tool.
An internationally renowned Septuagint scholar has compiled a user-friendly Hebrew index to the Septuagint. The index is keyed to the Hatch and Redpath Concordance.
Spyros Karalis from Ag. Stefanos Greece
I am a translator of the Old Testament. I found this book unique of its kind, and very helful for my work. I did't find another similar work. It is a good work. The Hebrew words are written above in every entry and are proceeded the Greek words of the Septuagint. The Greek words are also keyed to the classic Hatch-Redpath Concordance. But I would be more satisfied if there were keyed also with the Strong's numbering system. I think that this is a deficiency of the book. The size of the letters is also small. I would prefer it larger. But generally the work is good, and deserves its price!
