Sanh. 100: "Rabbi Jochanan sat one day and preached: One day will the Holy One--blessed be He--bring precious stones and pearls thirty cubits long by thirty cubits broad and excavate (openings) in them of ten cubits (in breadth and) twenty cubits in height, and they shall stand in the gates of Jerusalem ": cf. also Baba Bathra 75b. 6va ets Ikootos. This is a " barbaric " construction: cf. Matt. xxvi. 22, etc. For this distributive use of avd cf. iv. 8, John ii. 6; but the avd is here an adverb, not a preposition. In Kaff tU in Mark xiv. 19, Rom. xii. 5 the Koto is an adverb also (Robertson, pp. 460, 555). A somewhat parallel construction is found in Eph. v. 33, Kaff cva Jkootos (Blass, p. 179). iij irXaTcia.

History

RareBooksClub.com

A trio of eminent Old Testament 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 in the early part of the twentieth century, 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 Old Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. BDB's exhaustive coverage of Old Testament 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.
