Let's beginn our journey into Hebrew Scripture Linguistics with Advances in the Study of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic from Benjamin Noonan. A great book worth to read.
Because it is so packed, I will create one Episode for every Chapter.
Chapter 3 from Benjamin J. Noonan’s book, Advances in the Study of Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic, explores the definition, importance, and limitations of lexicology. It then discusses how this field of linguistics applies to the Hebrew Bible, specifically examining how word meaning is determined, how lexicology and biblical theology intersect, and how etymology can be used and misused. The author then turns to lexicography, reviewing and evaluating several lexicons for Biblical Hebrew and Aramaic. Noonan concludes by suggesting ways in which the field of Hebrew Bible lexicography can move forward.
