The International critical commentary on the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments - DEUTERONOMY - under the present editorship of Alfred Plummer ; planned and for years edited by Samuel Rolles Driver, Alfred Plummer, and Charles Augustus Briggs
(This commentary has been prepared not less for the reader...)
This commentary has been prepared not less for the readers of the Revised Version of the English Bible than for those of the Hebrew Text. Hebrew words appear at times in the main comment. They have been frequently introduced to illustrate the origin of different readings arising through a similarity of letters.

Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon

A trio of eminent Hebrew Bible scholars-Francis Brown, R. Driver, and Charles Briggs-spent over twenty years researching, writing, and preparing The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon. Since it first appeared, BDB has been considered the finest and most comprehensive Hebrew lexicon available to the English-speaking student. Based upon the classic work of Wilhelm Gesenius, the "father of modern Hebrew lexicography," BDB gives not only dictionary definitions for each word, but relates each word to its Hebrew Bible usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. BDB's exhaustive coverage of Hebrew Bible, Hebrew words, as well as its unparalleled usage of cognate languages and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render BDB and invaluable resource for all students of the Bible.
