Rev 19:7

How do I work out the meaning of a Greek text? How can I best understand the forms and vocabulary in this particular text?

Cathrine,

Again:
Moises Silva, Biblical Words and their Meaning: An Introduction to Lexical Semantics, Zondervan 1983, revised ed. 1994.

Here are a few more titles, a reminder that you should drop in at your local Univ Lib (in Stirling Scotland ?)

J. P. Louw and E. A. Nida, Lexical Semantics of New Testament Greek, Scholars Press, 1992.

J. P. Louw, The Semantics of New Testament Greek, Fortress 1982.

James Barr, The Semantics of Biblical Language, Oxford 1961, Fortress 1984.

TOWARDS A NEW DICTIONARY OF BIBLICAL HEBREW BASED ON SEMANTIC DOMAINS
Reinier de Blois
United Bible Societies
Woerden (Utr.), The Netherlands 200x ?

******

This is a really old list. Mike A. if you are listening, do you have any recent titles on lexical semantics written for people who are not linguists?

Please have a look at the thread about understanding Ἰουδαῖος.
On the meaning of Ioudaios, David Miller has written the most comprehensive investigation I've seen (a 3-part series in Currents in Biblical Research).
