<P><I>TWOT</I> stands for <I>Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament</I> edited by R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer, Jr., and Bruce K. Waltke. <I>TWOT</I> is a 2-volume set, dealing with the Hebrew/Aramaic words in the Old Testament that have a theological significance. It gives a short definition to every Old Testament word, but goes theologically in-depth on the words that would be necessary.</P>

<P>According to the introduction, "The contributors were asked to study their words from the viewpoint of biblical usage, etymological background, comparison with cognate languages, translations in the ancient versions, synonyms, antonyms, and theological significance" (Vol 1, iv). While the above was the focus of <I>TWOT</I>, not every major entry was able to include all of these.</P>
