A Note to the Student
This simple guide contains the Hebrew Bible’s most commonly used words. They are
arranged in a series of sections grouped according to grammatical category and frequency
of occurrence as indicated in the Table of Contents.
This guide began as a personal study project in the early nineties as I was first attempting
to build my Hebrew Vocabulary. I intend to publish a revised edition of this work in the
near future but am offering it in its present form at this time to allow for feedback. You are
free to download it, print it, and even share it with others as it is. All I ask is that you
provide me with any feedback on how to make it better. While I made every effort to
accurately type the Hebrew there may be typos or misspellings. The English definitions are
derived from various sources that I utilized to arrive at the basic meaning of the words.
Input is welcomed on these as well.
While there is no charge for this work, contributions can be made to United Israel World
Union, Inc.
UIWU is a 501 (c) 3 Non-Profit. All donations are tax deductible. See our website for details
- https://unitedisrael.org/donate/.
I pray that this booklet provides students with one of the tools necessary to read the
Hebrew Bible, and that in so doing, it leads people towards the true and living faith defined
within the pages of the Hebrew Bible.
