Vine's Complete Expository Dictionary of Old and New Testament Words

This is a nice book to have in my bookcase of Bible study books. I haven’t used it yet but I feel I’ll also share this with my church family as well as enjoying it for myself.

what is an expository dictionary? An expository dictionary is a reference work which provides definitions to the original Greek and Hebrew words of the Bible. (according to vsbibleschool. ) according to Oxford Languages expository means 1. intended to explain or describe something. 2. serving to expound, set forth, or explain. While an expository dictionary is a dictionary that will provide the Hebrew or Greek meaning behind a particular word and explain how it’s used in various contexts. This can aid in doing further study and is particularly helpful when doing word studies. (according to real bible experiences) now that we got that out of the way. Vine's complete expository dictionary of the Old and New Testament words with topical index keyed to strong's reference numbers. so the vines work with strong's Hebrew and Greek dictionaries which is very convenient for the user.

Excellent quality for the low price! AAAAA

This book is an excellent way to learn Greek meanings of Bible words w/o having to learn Greek. Every serious lay Bible student should have one. The copy I received was in 5-star condition - appeared to be new.

Bought but not used

I have used the print version of Vine's for nearly 40 years had have found it very useful. Even though I have more thorough and up-to-date resources in my print library, I use it often for quick reference or a brief check on definitions and usage of Biblical words. As far as content is concerned, I would give it a 5 star rating. I recently bought the Vine's for Kindle. The basic content is the same and it is well-presented on the page. There is a table of contents for Old Testament and New Testament. Both have a contents page allowing the user to access words by first letter. It is easy to navigate to the word you are looking for. I was disappointed by two deficiencies. First, the book is not indexed, so a search of the book does not work as the pop-up message panel will explain. Having this would make the Kindle version more useful and flexible and indexing a dictionary would seem, to me, an obvious requirement. Secondly, my print version has an index in the back which consists of all of the Greek and Hebrew words in the dictionary transliterated into English. Under each transliterated word are the English words into which the Greek/Hebrew word is translated for dictionary purposes. The English translation of the Greek/Hebrew words in Vine's follow the King James version. In many cases, newer translations do not translate the words the same. Having this index would allow you to find what word Vine's is using and navigate to it. My solution to this is to look up the passage in my Kindle KJV and find the word there and then go to Vine's and navigate to the word. It would be much more convenient if the index were there instead of end-note references. Maybe it could be indexed and linked to the reference words. However, for the Kindle, this is a very good quick-reference aid for getting a feel for the word in the Bible in context and enriching your Bible reading and study using the Kindle. I have profited from having it.

Highly recommend

In excellent condition. So happy for this book at this price. Needed for aid in my Bible. Study.

A good and useful dictionary to have for Hebrew and Greek learner :-D

Muy bonito, y con excelente contenido. Las hojas están gruesas. Lo que más me gustó es que proporciona la palabra griega que se usó en el texto. Totalmente recomendable. Solamente, llegó un poco sucio de los costados.

Das umfassendste Bibelwörterbuch.

Ottimo!

Great dictionary. Makes understanding of Bible word usage clearer and the Bible more understandable
