Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius Lexicon

Latest comment: 7 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

At biblestudytools.com there is a Hebrew Lexicon of unknown origin [1]. It is cited in the footnotes to this Wikipedia article as "Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius Lexicon." This is unfortunate and misleading. At the biblestudytools website, it is given the title NAS Lexicon, with the following explanation: "The New American Standard Old Testament Hebrew Lexicon is Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius Lexicon; which is keyed to the 'Theological Word Book of the Old Testament.' These files are public domain." Here's the problem. There actually exists a classic reference work known as "Brown-Driver-Briggs" (BDB) [2]. The NAS Lexicon is not BDB, as can be seen by comparing equivalent entries: the entry for Aram, for example. There is also a famous classic Hebrew and Chaldee Lexicon by Gesenius [3]. The NAS Lexicon is also not Gesenius. So throughout this article I'm going to remove references to the so-called "Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius" / NAS Lexicon, which is of unknown origin and therefore not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. I'll be replacing those references with actual references to Gesenius and/or BDB and/or other actual reliable lexicons and dictionaries.Alephb (talk) 21:23, 8 January 2017 (UTC)Reply
