Biblical Hebrew Forum

["Karl Randolph" <kwrandolph AT email.com>]

I don’t use the Online Bible BDB because it is connected with the Strong’s 
numbers, which, because they are connected with vowel points with which I too 
often disagree, I then find untrustworthy.

While I was learning Hebrew, I used the Davidson’s analytical until it fell 
apart and the pages were flying to the four winds. At first I found it 
indespensible, but near the end I automatically looked up the root, almost 
never finding that I didn’t recognize the form nor root.

What I want is to be able to click on a term in an unpointed text, then have 
the different possible roots and meanings come up.
