Lecture Notes: Lexical Resources and Strong's Dictionary Limitations
Key Topic: Limitations of Strong's Dictionary
Inability to find derived words
Strong's Dictionary cannot find words derived from a given root.
Example: Verb
"Amon"
(Strong's number 539).
Unable to locate derived words from "Amon."
Alternative Lexical Resources
Justinian's Lexicon and Brown-Driver-Briggs (BDB) Lexicon
These lexicons fill in gaps present in Strong's Dictionary.
Brown-Driver-Briggs (BDB)
:
Identifies root verb "Amon."
Lists all derived words below the root.
Provides more detailed definitions than Strong's.
Example definition: "artificer, architect, master workman"; one firm and sure in workmanship.
References: Proverbs 8:30.
Comparison of Translations
King James Version (KJV)
vs.
Newer Translations (ASV, RSV)
KJV uses "brought up" for "Amon."
Newer translations use BDB for a more accurate translation.
Usage and Accessibility
Hebrew Alphabet Requirement
BDB requires knowledge of Hebrew alphabet for word lookup.
New edition: Brown-Driver-Briggs Justinian’s Lexicon indexed by Strong’s numbers.
Index of Strong’s numbers in the back.
Example: Strong's number 539.
Allows non-Hebrew readers to look up words.
Practical Application
Using New Lexicons
