Product Description
Now available for the first time in a paperback format, The Oxford English-Hebrew Dictionary is a landmark in the description of modern Hebrew. Using principles developed in English lexicography but never before applied to Hebrew, it is an essential reference for serious English and Hebrew users alike, whether students, scholars, translators, or in professional contexts. The dictionary reflects the development of Hebrew in the twentieth century, and with over 50,000 entries offers extensive coverage of current idioms and phrases, slang and colloquialisms, technical and scientific terminology, academic discourse, legal and medical terminology, American and Australian terms, and a labeling system allowing easy identification of senses, contexts, and registers. For anyone interested in learning or translating modern Hebrew, The Oxford English-Hebrew Dictionary is an invaluable resource.

 Many good features, only 2 drawbacks. April 15, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a huge dictionary. One of my favorite things about it is, you look up an English word and it gives you the Hebrew with the vowels. My other Hebrew-English,English-Hebrew dictionary, the red Zilberman one, gives you the Hebrew with no vowels. I don't know Hebrew well enough to not need the vowels. It is very complete and I like the usage examples it gives. It gives translations of English idioms. There are only 2 drawbacks, which is why I don't give it that 5th star... it uses British English, so if you're an American that might be confusing at times, just for those few things that are different in British and American English. Second drawback, it only goes English to Hebrew, not Hebrew to English. But the book is 2 and a quarter inches thick, if they'd put the reverse dictionary on there it would have been impossible to use. I still use it all the time, because at my level of Hebrew I need to go English to Hebrew 90% of the time anyway.
Thourough, easy to navigate but no masculine/feminine indications for nouns December 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is the (English to Hebrew) dictionary I use most (out of three) because it has excellent elaboration of nuances and idiomatic use of common words. There are many examples of these words in action with their Hebrew equivalent.
All that is lacking (in my view) is an indication as to whether a noun is masculine or feminine. I can appreciate that conjugations and constructs are beyond the scope of a dictionary of this particular size, but it would be useful to have the gender of simple nouns.
 Very Thorough English -to-Hebrew Dictionary July 24, 2007
This is a fairly large Book. It has every slang/common-day word you can think of, with many different meanings/usages for each word. Just wish it went from Hebrew-to-English, so I could find the meaning of specific Hebrew words.
Excellent July 9, 2006

Superb English -Hebrew dictionary. I wish there was an equivalent one in Hebrew-English. Very clear and includes the many meanings and uses of each word translated.
