Thu, 09 Jul 2009 23:10:50 +0000 http://sitzimleben.com/?p=48#comment-896 [...] Brandon Wason has provided very helpful clarification on the project to revise BDB.  It seems that the main focus of the effort will be to update the etymological sections of the entries along with providing limited bibliography.  These are very worthy goals and surely BDB is in sore need of this kind of update (for all the reasons Jim Getz outlines).  I think John Huehnergard is one of the best Semitists in the world and I will buy his rework of BDB for that reason.
