ABD. The Anchor Bible Dictionary, also later known as the Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary.
ASV. American Standard Version, a translation of the Bible published in 1901 by Thomas Nelson. I have frequently relied on the copies of translation available electronically at worldenglish.bible and ebible.org.
BDB. Brown-Driver-Briggs, the famous standard reference work that appeared in 1906. Now at least in part superceded by HALOT and DCH.
BHK. Biblia Hebraica Kittel. When I cite this, I intend to cite on the relevant page which printing I am referring to. In short form, one way to do this is to indicate the year of printing in subscript. Thus, if I cite BHK1913, I am referring to a 1913 printing of BHK.
BHS. Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia. When I cite this, I intend to cite on the relevant page which printing I am referring to.
CSB. The Christian Standard Bible.
DCH. David Cline’s Dictionary of Classical Hebrew.
DDD2. The Dictionary of Deities and Demons in the Bible, edited by Karel van der Toorn and Pieter Willem van der Horst, Second Edition.
ESV. English Standard Version
Gesenius-LT. Gesenius, Wilhelm, Lexicon Manual, and associated materials, as translated into English in 1857 by Tregelles. This is the edition where the frequently irritated Tregelles uses brackets [ ] to note all the places where he objects to Gesenius’ ‘neologian’ views.
HALOT. The Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament.
HCSB. Holman Christian Standard Bible
JPS (1917). The Jewish Publication Society translation of 1917.
KJV. The King James Version of the Bible. The original translation was published in 1611, and over time revised in a variety of almost entirely very minor ways. The present form of the text, as it circulates in printed and online copies, is almost always either exactly or nearly exactly the same as a 1769 edition.
MT. The Masoretic Text.
NAB. The New American Bible.
NASB. The New American Standard Bible, which has appeared in various editions in 1971, 1977, 1995, and 2020.

NIV. New International Version
NKJV. New King James Version
NLT. New Living Translation.
NRSV. New Revised Standard Version
NRSVUE. New Revised Standard Version – Updated Edition.
WEB. World English Bible, a translation of the Bible revised over a number of years by Michael Paul Johnson. Although it was revised a number of times, when I refer to “WEB” I am speaking of the copies existing in 2022 and later at worldenglish.bible and _ebible.org.[1]
