Biblical Hebrew Forum

That was more or less my intention, yes.  If you don't have DJD, my book's 
help will be 
limited of course.  But for what it's worth, it does give a brief textual 
analysis of each 
passage listed.  As far as "don't need to bother" with my book, it's a HUGE 
help for locating 
specific passages that one might want to check out.  Even in DJD, the 
biblical material is 
often hard to track down, so buying my book can be a handy short-cut since 
I've already 
done that work for you, hint hint ;-)  (Note to mods: please don't take me 
too seriously...)
