Scholars involved in the creation of the Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible include: One example is a lexical note in Genesis 7:18 for the word וַיִּגְבְּר֥וּ (‘prevailed’) which states, “The lexeme calls forth a frame of ‘war’ in which the waters ‘overpowered’ the earth.” Annotations are a significant feature as they encapsulate insights of the editorial team-information that would take a great deal of time to look up elsewhere.

The Lexham Hebrew-English Interlinear Bible is designed for electronic reference and based on the latest linguistic research. For example, English glosses are rendered with utmost sensitivity to context. Rather than machine-generating the interlinear, these scholars are painstakingly creating it word by word-a process that ensures the quality of the resulting product. Recently we decided the time was right to commission our own interlinear and assembled a team that includes some of the world’s top Hebrew scholars. The problem has always been acquiring digital rights to a quality title. “A Hebrew-English interlinear” may be one of the most frequent requests we hear from users.
