The Vocabulary of the Old Testament
( This book is a reference work designed to provide easy ...)
This book is a reference work designed to provide easy and accurate access to vocabulary distribution information. It presents the entire Hebrew and Aramaic vocabulary of the Old Testament in several distinct ways. The text used is that of the Leningrad Codex. As a bonus, concise English glossaries are provided, as are our part-of-speech assignments. Five exhaustive indexes complete the book.

Studies in Hebrew and Aramaic Orthography (Biblical and Judaic Studies)
(This book introduces the student to the textual study of ...)
This book introduces the student to the textual study of the Hebrew Bible--to help such a student "perceive the work of the numberless and nameless scribes torn between tradition and fashion in their restrained attempts to update the orthography of Scripture." Sixteen essays serve as the bridge from older methods for the study of orthography to newer ones, using the computer to analyze large bodies of text.

Spelling in the Hebrew Bible (Biblica Et Orientalia)
( This book is an outgrowth of the Dahood Memorial Lectur...)
This book is an outgrowth of the Dahood Memorial Lectures delivered at the University of Michigan, February 8–10, 1983. It attempts four things: to describe the orthographic phenomena of the Hebrew Bible; to assess the evidence by means of appropriate statistical analyses; to interpret the evidence in terms of the history of Hebrew spelling; and to speculate on the significance of this evidence for studies in the production and transmission of the text.
