Review: Very good reference books for archaic Bible words

The King James Translators admonished the readers of their version in their 1611 preface to keep the Bible in the language of the people.  They knew the meanings and nuances of words would change over the years and, rightly so, expected the Bible to maintain pace so the everyday man, woman or child would be able to read the Bible without having to keep a dictionary or special book like this handy.  Instead, people have so venerated the KJV 1611-1769 over the priority of keeping the Bible in the vernacular of everyday people like you and me that books like this one still have a valuable place in our libraries.
