Description
This vocabulary book will give a student the ability to study one 30 Root Family section every day of each month, and then repeat this process each month, covering a total of 917 Root Families in that month. This book will help students learn the most common words first if they start from the beginning of the book, then near the end are the Root Families with usages of 20 times. In the end, students can learn all of the Root Families that occur 20 or more times in the Bible using this list of roots/words. There are many additional features in this book that help a student to memorize words, like synonyms and antonyms for each Root Family. My previous work on my book 'Counting Roots' has greatly helped the creation of this book, because they are both dictionaries really, but they are ordered differently from each other, but neither are ordered in the typical alephbet order. Also, while working on this book, I found a few missing words in my 'Counting Roots' dictionary, and a few errors.

Summary
Word Occurrences is a study aid that lists each Root Family (This is what I call a root and all of the words that come from it) by the total amount of times the words in that Root Family appear in the Tanakh. Instead of just listing each Root Family in order, I made 30 'day' sections to put these roots in, with each descending section having less word frequencies. For example, The first section listed every Root Family of 2000 or more times, then the next section was 1500-1999 times (I have since reordered the list). Also with each Root Family I have put Hebrew synonym words to not only help the student remember what the Root means for that Root Family, but also to give comparison learning. I have added a letter based definition for most of the Roots in the Root Families also to further aid in root and word memorization.

Excerpt
This book is essentially an enhanced dictionary that can also be used for these other purposes: 1: to determine the frequencies of word usage in the Tanakh ('Old' Testament). 2: to more easily compare words with similar spellings. 3: to compare all of the words that come from one single root, which can help us to better understand those word meanings and word usages. 4: to discover what root a word belongs to. 5: to discover roots that other dictionaries do not recognize. 6: to compare Biblical words with modern meanings in some important situations. 7. to discover the total amount of times that all of the words in a root family are used.

Table of Contents
This is a vocabulary list split up into 30 sections or 'Days' of study. Pasting text here messes up the spacing and formatting that I used in this book, so that is why I did not paste a section of the book here.
