Brown-Driver-Briggs Abridged Hebrew Lexicon with Strong’s: Based on A Hebrew-English Lexicon of the Old Testament /
Upgrade pricing to the BDB Complete is available.
The standard lexicon for Biblical Hebrew, BDB organizes words according to their lexical roots. Unlike some other electronic versions of BDB which are merely based upon this classic work, this Princeton edition is a true BDB, lacking only the comparisons with other semitic languages and Scripture references.
A trio of eminent Old Testament scholars–Francis Brown, R. Driver, and Charles Briggs–spent over twenty years researching, writing, and preparing The Brown-Driver-Briggs Hebrew and English Lexicon. Since it first appeared in the early part of the twentieth century, BDB has been considered the finest and most comprehensive Hebrew lexicon available to the English-speaking student. Based upon the classic work of Wilhelm Gesenius, the “father of modern Hebrew lexicography,” BDB gives not only dictionary definitions for each word, but relates each word to its Old Testament usage and categorizes its nuances of meaning. BDB’s exhaustive coverage of Old Testament Hebrew words, as well as its unparalleled usage of cognate languages and the wealth of background sources consulted and quoted, render BDB an invaluable resource for all students of the Bible.

2/24/21 Update: The 4.0 update to the BDB Abridged Lexicon incorporates a few changes:
- Strong’s numbers have been added
- The data from the separate Biblical Aramaic glossary has been incorporated into the BDB Abridged module. Therefore, Biblical Aramaic can be removed from your user Library.

Accordance Enthusiast
Good starter lexicon, but not always accurate. The meanings given for the Aramaic sections of the Hebrew Bible are very basic and is more like a glossary. The abridged version is available elsewhere for free.
The full BDB lexicon is much more useful.
