Summary: Even-Shoshan's OT Concordance
Comment: If the typical Masoretic text of the Old Testament is your cup of soup, then this is the best Hebrew concordance for you. No question -- it is the best, superceding all previous editions. Make sure you purchase the second edition, which has the passage citations in English, and numerous corrections (i.e. 1990+).
The volume is firmly bound, though not smyth sewn, it does open and lay open nicely. The paper appears to not be high quality, nor ANSI certified, it is printed in Israel.
The Hebrew text is from the Koren edition of 1958, using Tiberian pointing. The font is usually clear. He presents all (or most defintions) for each word, in Hebrew only. He also shows synonyms and most phrases using each word! (especially the rather unique phrases, this greatly eases some word studies!).
Each occurrence is numbered, and thus statistics are easier to generate, and word counts are easy to view herein. All of these are fine innovations available in this great work. I only wish that he had used more English terms for some of his numerous Hebrew abbreviations. I also wish that he would have indicated each ROOT much more emphatically. With the volume is John Sailhamer's useful guide, which helps the new user get more from this concordance....

Summary: Perfect Concordance as the Rabbis' Invaluable Heritage
Comment: This is a great, voluminous book(more than 1242 pages except introduction). It was written in Hebrew. Every word was fully vocalized in accordance with the Massoretic pronunciation. Every chapter, every verse, every word, and even every letter of the Old Testament was counted. (For example, there are 929 chapters, 23,191 verses, 304,901 words, and 1,159,705 letters in the Hebrew Old Testament. There are 16,344 Massora Beth notes in the text, with 27 occurrences of variation.) Words similar but have different meanings were marked by different frequency numbers. This is the most recommendable concordance for Hebrew Old Testament.
For a handy sized Hebrew Old Testament concordance, I would recommend "Gerhard Lisowsky, Konkordanz zum Hebraeischen Alten Testament, Deutsche Bibelgesellschaft." It is a very useful, small one.
For those who do not know Hebrew, I would like to recommend "George V. Wigram, The Englishman's Hebrew Concordance of the Old Testament, Hendrickson Publishers." Every entry word is in Hebrew with Roman transliteration, and the related verses are all in English.
