About - Etymological Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew
This dictionary, based on the commentaries of Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch, is a monumental work and guide to understanding the Biblical commentary of Rabbi Hirsch. This work analyzes the deep concepts inherent in Hebrew, the Divine language, revealing how every word's root contains connotations essential to a greater understanding of Torah.

The BEST tool for learning Biblical Hebrew more in depth. This is the one book I would not give up when reading the bible in Hebrew. It's very easy to use, concise and to the point. Wherever my bible goes, this goes also!

 
It's all about the root words and how many meanings they can have. I also have The Analytical Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon which is great if you want to look up a word directly from the Hebrew Tanakh, with every word letter by letter, every verb conjugation, etc. But it's also harder on the eyes.\

If you're seriously studying, you need both. But this Etymological Dictionary is by far the most needful, especially when getting started. Once you begin delving into Hebrew, you can never have enough dictionaries. Praise the Lord, there are now so many tools out there. But Rabbi Hirsch's is definitely a must have.
