The vocabulary of modern Hebrew — called 'ivrit — is based upon biblical Hebrew, but with numerous additions from the entire history of the language. For modern usage, several scholars have developed new words that are based upon the structure of Hebrew, but Hebrew has ... borrowed words from other languages, including Arabic, Persian, Greek, Latin, Yiddish and especially Aramaic. The syntax of modern Hebrew is based on that of the Mishnah. The pronunciation is taken from Sephardic Jewish interpretation (Turkey, Greece, Bulgaria) interpreted it.

Looking up words in Hebrew lexicons is complicated by the fact that various lexicons follow quite different philosophies regarding how to spell the lexical forms of various Hebrew words. The Dictionary of Biblical Languages series is tremendously useful because its main entries closely follow the spellings found in BDB, but it ... contains entries to look up words based on the spellings in lexicons like HALOT, so DBL can be used as a sort of index to move between the different lexicons. DBL also categorizes words by semantic domains, making it possible to find words that are related in meaning, such as synonyms.
