Book excerpt: The Jubilee Bible: Dictionary & Concordance is a companion resource that enhances the study of the Holy Scriptures by guiding the reader in discovering the meaning and significance of proper Greek and Hebrew names, as well as important words used throughout the Bible. While the reader will find this dictionary and concordance applicable to nearly any English version of the Bible, the concordance is especially effective when studying the Jubilee Bible (JUB). This is because the translation of the Jubilee Bible stands apart from most other versions printed since the beginning of the last century. In the Jubilee Bible (JUB) the usage and context tends to define each key word so you don’t have to blindly rely on theological dictionaries or reference materials that may, wittingly or unwittingly, include any type of prejudice or bias. Careful attention has been made to properly and consistently translate each key word, through the first usage and on through to the last, avoiding the use of synonyms. Then, as a given word makes its way across the Old Testament and you make the correct match with the corresponding Greek word in the New Testament, an amazing pattern emerges. The Jubilee Bible is the only translation we know of that has made a serious attempt to mate each unique Hebrew word (and subsequently its Greek equivalent) with a unique English word (using the common English of William Tyndale and the extraordinary Hebrew scholarship of Casiodoro de Reina of the early Reformation), so that the usage (and number of occurrences of each key word) sets forth the idea of what God means by each word, as defined by the actual context in Scripture.
