Finally, a dictionary!
You can buy this one! I have bought many HEEH dictionaries. In the last 10 years, I must have used six different ones. I had the same problems with all of them. In most, the print was so small and blurry you could not tell the difference between and Nun and a Gimal or a Hay from a Het. Most were too small, under 100,000 words, to be of any help. All of them were bound in Israel, which meant they fell apart by the third use. Almost all of them were compiled over 20 years ago. They were good for biblical Hebrew. However, they are poor for Modern Hebrew, which is dynamic and changing rapidly. Every one of them seemed to be compiled by and for Hebrew speakers taking care to get the English correctly translated into Hebrew. However, they gave less attention to translating the Hebrew into English.

The NTC dictionary solves these problems. There are a few blurry pages, and some glaring omission of popular Hebrew words. However, it is head-and-shoulders above its competition. This is the last HEEH dictionary you will have to buy for a while.

The NTC dictionary solves these problems. There are a few blurry pages, and some glaring omission of popular Hebrew words. However, it is head-and-shoulders above its competition. This hardcover edition is expensive. However, buying just one of the NTC is a lot less expensive than buying a half-dozen of the $10 to $15 variety that do not last a year. This is the last HEEH dictionary you will have to buy for a while.

I go to this one over and over. It is really the best
I have used a number of Hebrew-English dictionaries, but time and time again, this one I reach for. It is just so handy. And the binding is solid. It is a real hardback book, and just so useful. I recommend it to everyone.
