A Hebrew dictionary is not a book about a guy who makes coffee.

It could show different versions of the Hebrew language. Or it could be a translation from one language to Hebrew or back.

There is another Hebrew dictionary on the web. It's more of a glossary. Hebrew words are shown with that alphabet, in the English letters, then an English translation given and finally a brief description of the word. In this one father is Abba.
