the firth, "He caused to kill", the sixth, "He was caused to kill" and  in the seventh,

"He killed himself".  While there are many exceptions, the general formula holds good.

We now turn to the valuable indexes. On the sample page we have taken we notice that

the first Hebrew word is Hamon. Accordingly we turn up the Hebrew Index, and find the

The figures indicate the number of times the word is translated by each English word.

We observe that the word most used in the A.V. to translate hamon is "multitude", and

accordingly gather that such is its primary meaning.

We may be interested enough to look back into the Concordance to see how and

where the word hamon is used. Accordingly we look up "noise", or any of the other

translations, and, in nearly every case, find further avenues opening up before us. We

look up the Greek word dunamis (i.e., No.14 in the Concordance) and find a long list of

words into which it is translated. Of these the outstanding word is "power" which

translates dunamis 77 times.

Not only is Young's Concordance useful and valuable as an aid in distinguishing

things that differ, but there is prefaced to the Concordance, 71 illustrations of Bible

Idioms. The reader may here also become acquainted with a few figures of speech, and

profit by the useful hints and helps to Bible interpretation so liberally given by the

compiler. Then, at the end of the Concordance, beyond the two Index-Lexicons, is a

useful treatise and concordance of Proper Names of the O.T. with their modern

pronunciation and the exact form of the original Hebrew.

The Seventh Edition of Young's Analytical Concordance has been revised throughout

by Wm. B. Stevenson, B.D. (Edinburgh), and in the latest impression of this edition there

is added a sketch of recent exploration in Bible lands, by Thomas Nicol, D.D., together

with a series of plates depicting facsimiles of Samaritan, Hebrew, and Greek MSS, and a

number of engravings showing many sites and cities mentioned in the Bible.

There is hope that a new edition containing all these features will be published as soon

as circumstances permit, but students who seek second-hand copies should examine the

title page before completing the purchase.

Where possible, we strongly advise the purchase of a leather bound copy.  The

Concordance is a heavy volume, it is bought once only in a lifetime, and will give better

service if it has the protection and strength afforded by leather binding, at least for the
