Karl,

What Hebrew dictionary(ies) would you recommend for the most concise yet
accurate definitions? Thanks.

Blessings,

If all one wants to do is to make translations, then a translator's
dictionary is what one wants. If one wants to get a feel for Biblical
Hebrew, a translator's dictionary can actually be a hindrance. It is
better to get a dictionary that gives the closest equivelant in English,
or a short sentence but not a dissertation, then do what your following
paragraph recommends.
