Reason to Consider in Accordance: After the publication of the final volume in the monumental Dictionary of Classical Hebrew (DCH), David J. A. Clines turned around and began working on the revised edition (DCHR). So far, the first three volumes are available, and the fourth is due later this year. It's understandable that Accordance would wait until the series is complete (Lord willing, by 2028) until developing and releasing the module. However, The Shorter Dictionary of Classical Hebrew Revised (SDCHR) has just been released, and this will now be a hugely important resource that Accordance would do well to place among their high-priority items for module development. The SDCHR is more than a mere revision of The Concise Dictionary of Classical Hebrew (CDCH), which Accordance also offers. While CDCH is only 500pp., SDCHR is over 1100pp. The latter is advertised as being "designed to be a replacement for BDB (the standard 1906 English lexicon of Hebrew)." This makes it an essentially resource and one that I, and undoubtedly many others, would love to see available in Accordance in the near future.
