This page studies common Biblical words and concepts with their Hebrew/Greek meanings using the Complete Jewish Bible, the New International Bible ©1984, and Vines Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words ©1985. It is not an exhaustive list, but words that may enhance your Bible study. A good resource for learning the Hebrew word pictures is Hebrew Word Pictures, by Dr. Frank Seekins.
