Semantics of Ancient Hebrew Database

Announcement: This site is in the process of being transferred to its new permanent home, curated by Het Oudtestamentisch Werkgezelschap. Please bookmark https://www.otw-site.eu/en/sahd/ for future reference. This is being done gradually. At the time of writing, the “database” is still sparsely populated, but it will grow in time, and eventually replace this site. / 05 Jan 2022

The Semantics of Ancient Hebrew Database project aims to provide a structured and critical survey of scholarly literature on the vocabulary of classical Hebrew. As it grows, it will offer an in-depth resource to complement traditional dictionaries, and also provide pointers to further research. This international, cooperative project involves a growing number of research centres with coordination provided by Amsterdam.

Read the foundational description of the project (1994); or see the data structure for lexeme entries.

The currently participating centres include the following universities: Amsterdam, Bonn, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Florence, Oxford, Leiden, Rome.
