Benner's Lexicon of Biblical Hebrew is a groundbreaking resource for those seeking to understand the Hebrew Bible through the lens of its original language and culture. Unlike traditional lexicons that define Hebrew words through modern, Western abstractions, this lexicon brings each word to life with concrete, action-based definitions rooted in the ancient Hebrew mindset.

Each Hebrew word is presented with its root, its pictographic origin, and an easy-to-understand definition based on how the ancient Hebrews would have used and understood it in everyday life. The entries are organized by root, showing how meanings develop through related words. Whether you're a pastor, Bible student, or simply someone wanting to dig deeper into the Bible's original context, this lexicon will transform how you read the Scriptures.

Built on over two decades of research, Benner’s Lexicon bridges the gap between ancient Hebrew and the modern reader. It’s not just a reference book—it’s a tool for restoring meaning to the biblical text through a return to its original language, thought, and culture.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

JEFF A. BENNER has authored over twenty books related to the studies of the alphabet, language and culture of the Bible and is an instructor who has taught thousands how to read the Bible in Hebrew for themselves.

Mr. Benner desires to assist his readers with proper Biblical interpretation, based on the original Hebraic context of the Bible, so they may gain a deeper understanding and insight into the intended meaning of the words of the Scriptures. He discovered that most Biblical and Hebrew teachings are missing a key ingredient, a cultural background to the language of the Bible. To this end, he has dedicated over 20 years of research, documenting the connections between the language of the Bible and the culture in which it was written.
