Nidotte's unique organization gives the reader access to insights from past and current scholarship: 1.

The Lexical Dictionary (Volumes 104) Entries are arranged in Hebrew alphabetical sequence. Each entry heading contains the Goodrick/Kohlenberger number for the Hebrew word (a cross-reference index allows for use with the Strong's numbering system. Hebrew and Aramaic words are transliterated. Entries in the dictionary discuss the Hebrew word in the context of the Ancient Near East, its use and significance in the Old Testament, its relationship to postcanonical Hebrew and Greek, and New Testament usage. Cross-references suggest to the reader other words that will enhance a nuances understanding of related words in the semantic domain. A bibliography is found at the end of most articles. 3. The Topical Dictionary (Volume4) This session includes articles on the theology of each book of the Old Testament and on biblical concepts, people, places, events, and literary pieces, as well as cross-references to the lexical volumes (vols. 1-4). 4. Indexes (Volume 5) Hebrew Index, Scripture Index, Subject Index, Semantic Field Index.

Talbot Course: Survey of Genesis-Malachi

MUST HAVE! If you want to dig deep into word study of the original language, this is great. BUT I strongly recommend saving money and buying this on CD-Rom. It's pricey otherwise.

One of the best resources for OT Isogogics on the market today. It is written by multiple authors and some are better than others but overall a very good resource.

Le genre de dictionnaire qu'il faut avoir dans sa bibliothèque. Outil extrêmement utile pour une herméneutique équilibrée
