This is the first in a two part series that aims to introduce you to the work of Dr. Reinier de Blois and honor some of the incredible labor of love he has poured out for the sake of the Bible translation community and movement. Specifically, I want to highlight his work in Hebrew lexicography as he nears the end of a project that has spanned over two decades; and that is the creation of a new semantic dictionary of biblical Hebrew, which is available under an open creative commons license. This can be found over at marble.bible. Back in 2000 he wrote a paper outlining some of his vision for the new dictionary, and I think it would be valuable for us to work through some of it together.

Dr. Reinier de Blois is from the Netherlands and is currently the coordinator of ICAP for the United Bible Societies. ICAP stands for The Institute for Computer Assisted Publishing, which is a global initiative of the United Bible Societies which provides technology support and training for the scripture translation and publishing community. The ICAP team has extensive experience in text archiving and data conversion, and a long history of working closely with national Bible Societies and partner agencies. The knowledge and expertise accrued in this area serves as a foundation for the ongoing development of the Digital Bible Library. So currently he is in charge of the development of Bible publishing software, including implementation and training. Dr. de Blois is also a translation consultant and has served on projects in Nigeria, Guinea, and Tanzania. He teaches at Puritan Reformed Theological Seminary in Grand Rapids, and has published a number of things that you can see listed on his CV over at Academia.edu.
