THE HEBREW GOSPEL OF MATTHEW
by George Howard Although the 'Shem Tov' Hebrew of Matthew that is in this book is helpful for a student of Hebrew, the text has been edited and words have been replaced with Modern Hebrew words, grammar, and spelling. Yeshua's name has been reduced so that it is missing the ע ayin in almost every case. Many verses are missing and many verses are different than what we would expect, but it still does give some good insight in some verses. George has footnotes that compares the other Hebrew texts of Matthew to the Shem Tov, which is very helpful for a Hebrew student, because when more than one text agrees that the Shem Tov is in error on a word, then it is a good hint that those agreeing texts might be correct. George also does lots of explaining of the text which is interesting. This book has been invaluable for my work on restoring the Hebrew of Matthew to as close to the original as I can (I do not plan on publishing that work unfortunately, because i know I will have errors and I do not want to publish errors).

The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament: Coded with Strong's Concordance Numbers
by George V. Wigram I have used this book almost every day for the last 5 or 6 years for my work on my dictionaries 'Counting Roots', 'Word Occurrences', and 'Hebrew Comparisons'.
This book, or at least a comparable Hebrew concordance, is a must have for any student of the Hebrew Tanakh. Although this author believes the Aramaic myth (Which I cover in my book 'What is Truth?'), I have only found a couple of errors other than those. There are three sections of this book, the main Hebrew concordance, the Hebrew index that also lists all of the English translations from each word, and the English index which also shows all of the Hebrew words that each word is translated from. |
KJV - Hebrew Tanakh
ISBN-10: 0564000396 ISBN-13: 978-0564000395 This is a used copy that I bought on amazon for a hundred dollars, but more recently printed books can be bought for a fair price from 15 to 25 dollars if you find a non-greedy seller. Actually, all of the books listed on the page were books I bought that were used but in good condition. There are many different publishers for this book, with many different dates, but they are all the same print edited by Meir Letteris. You can still find 'new' printings of this book, but there really is no point to buy new, because there are many good sellers on amazon who answer questions about if the book has markings in it, etc. If you can find a copy for 15 to 25 dollars, it is a way better deal than any other Hebrew Tanakh you will find, because most of them are 30 dollars or more for a new one, and the Hebrew texts in them are of less reliable versions, and the English is not as good as the KJV translation. The first Tanakh i bought was a JPS, and I gave it away not long after discovering this Letteris version. Look at my KJV - Hebrew Tanakh page on this website to see a picture of the inside and for a link to download PDF files of it that are in the public domain.
