What are your favorite Greek and Hebrew lexicons?

I'm curious to what are your favorite Greek and Hebrew lexicons, whether already in Accordance or not?

 

I do love BDAG/HALOT, plus I'm a huge fan of NIDNTTE/NIDOTTE.

I like Clines Concise Dictionary of Classical Hebrew.

 

HALOT is great but I miss Holladay's lexicon in Accordance. 

 

Holladay's Lexicon contains important definitions not found in HALOT. It's been available on Logos for more than 10 years. I guess it's not impossible to add it to Accordance.

 

For the Greek NT, BDAG is great...

So am I but also the nidntt abridged because of the links from mounce's expository dictionary. 

BUT I really appreciate all the hyper linking in the two mounce lexicons for quickly looking at how various translations handle the text (rather than for the definitions). They make studying on the iPad easier as it doesnt have all the bells and whistles of the full fat version yet!

LSJ unabridged. Wonderful. But I’m a classicist. Hebrew is Halot because of the Aramaic.

I like the ones you mentioned Nathan & I sometimes find a lot of info in Louw & Nida.

My most important Greek Lexicons:

  • BDAG
  • Exegetical Dictionary of the NT
  • Louw-Nida
  • NIDNTTE
  • Brill Dictionary of Ancient Greek

and as I have mentioned before, Danker's Concise Lexicon

Since part of the Bible is also written in Aramaic (which always gets left out)…

Ernst Vogt, A Lexicon of Biblical Aramaic. I would like to see this added to Accordance.

I also get a lot of use out of The Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon, but I don't think it is "finished."

 

For Hebrew, I use DCH, HALOT and Semantic Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew (still under development).

 

For Greek, BDAG. I also vote for LSJ unabridged.
