This great reference tool also comes with a CD containing all the great tools that the Strong’s CD has PLUS the full text of the Expository Dictionary.
Everyone who studies the Bible wishes at some point that he or she knew the original Hebrew or Greek in order to better understand a difficult word or passage. TheExpository Dictionary of Bible Words gives readers the fruits of a working knowledge Hebrew and Greek without the years of language study.
The Expository Dictionary of Bible Words is more than just a handy and thorough alphabetical guide to the English translation of the Hebrew and Greek words used in both Testaments. There are thousands of articles, all arranged alphabetically by English word and coded to Strong’s numbering system for ease of use. Each article is divided into two sections — Old Testament (Hebrew) Words and New Testament (Greek) Words — with an entry for the Hebrew or Greek word along with its transliteration, translation, range of meaning(s), and comments on its use in different biblical contexts. A comprehensive system of cross-references aids the reader in finding different words as well as discussions of related words and themes.
Although reference works like Vine’s and Englishman’s have long aided Christians in understanding the nuances of different biblical words, the Expository Dictionary of Bible Words surpasses all available reference works.

Helpful Resource For Greek/Hebrew Studies
An easy-to-use expository dictionary. It is more modern than Vines, but I do not know how exhaustive it is compared to others. Good quality though.
PATTERN pg 718
TYPOS (5179 Strongs)
Typos is a noun occurring sixteen times with the varying sense of 'pattern', 'type', 'example'. The meaning pattern is evident in two contexts:
Acts 7:44; Heb 8:5 refer to the 'pattern' of the tabernacle as revealed by God to Moses on Mt Sinai. Then, in Titus 2:7, typos refers to the 'pattern' or 'model' of good works that Paul desires Titus to demonstrate to his congregation.
Good, but not detailed enough.
This is a decent dictionary, but it's not as good as the complete word study dictionaries. I got it for $20 and it served me well for a while, but I really don't use it anymore as it is not a complete dictionary, and there were often a few words that I couldn't find in it. It's worth the extra money for a more scholastic dictionary.
excellent resource
I agree with the editorial review This book is better than Vines and other older books. You don't have to know Greek or Hebrew to use this book since the words are transliterated [spelled] into English.Very reasonably priced book. Highly recommended.
