Even if you have traditional Hebrew concordances, such as Lisowsky or Shoshan, I find Logos’s Concordance Tool to be very helpful. First, no one carries paper concordances with them to work and coffee shops so a digital, portable tool that provides information in a similar format is helpful. Second, I find it helpful to have another take on things like Hebrew roots and how we organize lexemes underneath roots.

Today, I grabbed Lisowsky to check out the lexemes he organized under the root חפץ. I then opened the Logos Concordance Tool to compare. I set the database/book to the Lexham Hebrew Bible, I changed the settings to roots instead of lexemes, and this is what the report looks like:

Every word in the Hebrew Bible is listed by root with the lexemes organized underneath each root. Clicking the dropdown for each lexeme displays all the instances of that word:

The crazy thing is that you can generate concordance reports for just about any book in your library. Most books won’t have root tagging, but a concordance it will make.

More information about the tools is found on this product page where there is a video introduction to the tool.
