Free eBooks Beyond The Hebrew Lexicon: Learn To Do Hebrew Word Studies That Take You Beyond The Lexicon Available To Downloads
NOTE: BEYOND THE LEXICON IS THE SECOND EDITION OF CHAIM BENTORAH'S PREVIOUS BOOK, HEBREW WORD STUDY: BEYOND THE LEXICON. Many Christians long to study the Word of God in the original Hebrew. They will take Hebrew Classes at a college, a synagogue or online and often become discouraged because these classes either teach them to speak Hebrew or spend considerable time teaching complex rules of grammar when all they really want is to find God’s heart and message in His Word. As a result, these Christians usually give up and just go to the back of Strong’s Concordance, a lexicon, or a Bible dictionary to look up a word. This book is written for the Christian who does not want to learn to speak Hebrew or spend long hours trying to understand complex rules of grammar. It is written for those who want to find a deeper meaning to certain Hebrew words on their own. Even after looking up a word in their lexicon they are still left with a nagging feeling that there must be more. In most cases there is more and this book will give some guidelines in how to drill down into the very heart, soul and core of a Hebrew word. It will take you to a world beyond your lexicon without spending years in a seminary or Bible College. What you will need is a love for the Word of God. If you love it enough, it will reveal its secrets. Hebrew is a language of the heart and if you love God enough, He will reveal His heart to you through the ancient Hebrew Language.

This book delivered what it promised.Its a good intro to the topic of the hebrew words and letters and linking it to the english translations.What i liked about it is that it struck the right balance between being informative and yet not too specific and boring.I personally found it very interesting to link this with my arabic language.Lots of common words and themes which was shocking to me.Even the alphabets are very close between the two languages.Its sad to see the people of two very close languages and traditions end up in such conflict and hate.God bless
A fresh, in depth look into the deeper meanings of Hebrew words of the Bible. Full of interpretations that make the passages of the Bible not only "pop" but come to life in such a way that it is exciting.
First off, I love this book. I bought the Kindle version and that makes it a super hard read. This book is more of a study/reference book and doesn't really do well (isn't as useful) on a kindle. Navigation isn't as easy as simply flipping to the right page for the letter you are reading about. As a paperback book this would be a great study tool.
I have studied the Hebrew alphabet for over 15 years, the letters themselves expressing a huge depth of meaning. For that reason a Hebrew word can not be understood at 'face value'. It becomes a 3-D experience in understanding. Chaim Bentorah, a Hebrew teacher of many years, has taken this understanding and presented it simply and clearly. For those who love Scripture, and look up words from the concordance to find the meaning, can now look at the letters and get a much deeper picture of that word, as it is meant not just from head knowledge, but 'from the heart'. Hebrew is a 'heart' language. As Bentorah brings out as he is discussing the letters, that a scholarly knowledge base can bring about exhaustion when acting 'upon the knowledge'. But when a word is understood from the heart it will bring about desire and creativity - the difference between the 'letter and the spirit'. I highly recommend this work, particularly if you are looking to understand that God really is a God of love and not just a 'do this / do that' God.
I am divided about this book as a system of learning Hebrew. The commentary given by the author is fascinating and gives me some insight into Hebrew as a language of may layers. I found myself not wanting to put the book down and wanting to learn more. The extensive bibliography can help with that. For this I would give it 5 stars.However, the ONLY reason I give it 3 is that the depictions (at least in the Kindle Edition) of the Hebrew characters are so small, that it makes them almost unreadable. I have NO IDEA why books seem to depict the Hebrew letters and words as so small. Much smaller than even English letters in footnotes. I would recommend another book to learn the shapes of the letters... one that uses larger print (my old eyes just can't read these) and then studying this book. Maybe after doing that, I can see the pattern in the letters more clearly.
as with all of Bentorah's books this one is another exception. If you don't know Hebrew this will give you a real understanding and the emotions that go with that lanugage. I always read through a book first, wetting my appetite and that is what I have just done, then I go and start tearing it apart. that is the exciting part. Hope you will join the journey of this book, it might just change your life. henrietta
I highly recommend this book for any follower of Jesus Christ. Simply amazing! It is what I had been searching for since I had gotten saved!
A worthwhile read to understand the depth and complexity of this beautiful language. Then move on to Chaim's other brilliant books about the "Heart of God"
