The classic lexicon - Rated 
One of the classic lexicons published by the Oxford University Press about a hundred years ago, this volume is commonly known as BDB. It's still one of the most useful dictionaries of Hebrew, tho' the scholar will probably use the 'Hebrew and Aramaic Lexicon of the Old Testament' by Koehler and Baumgartner (HALOT) especially as there's a inexpensive (ha-ha!!! it's v. costly, but by Brill standards it's cheap!) 2-volume Study Edition available now. But I prefer to use BDB for non-academic use, and strongly recommend it to students, as it is in Hebrew root order. This means it is a bit harder to find the word when you start learning Hebrew, but the advantage is you have most of the words related to the word you are looking for sitting together on the page, which gives you a bit more insight into the word. It also is very good on words in related languages, which can be useful to those who know them. But for the beginner, it can be quite hard to find some difficult words (you need to know your broken verbs well), so I would recommend having a copy of another old favourite, the Langenscheidt Pocket Hebrew Dictionary, as a backup in case you really can't find that word.
A user friendly Hebrew ref. for the student and scholar. - Rated
The BDB Lexicon (inc. Aramaic and Chaldee)is a reference work of art. If you know the words(s) you are looking for, the Lexicon places them in their correct position in relation to other words. It has the necessary run-down of word paradigms and is easy to work out. NOTE: You may not find the word you are looking for in the order you would expect. E.G., the Hebrew word for 'speak' (Root: 'dalet'-'bet'-'resh') will be under 'dalet' even though it may start with a 'vav' in its' past tense third person state. In other words, 'and he said' (vayodebere - unpointed: 'vav'-'yod'-'dalet'-'bet'-'resh') will still be under 'dalet', the first letter of the root word. This is the only confusing but normal aspect of the BDB. For the discerning reader, keep your eye out for the future release of the Sheffield Academic Press' exhaustive (!) concordance to the Hebrew Bible. I don't know what it will be called but it has been researched and worked on for years, the main authors being Prof. Phillip Davies and Prof. David Clines from the department of Biblical Studies, The University of Sheffield.

Best Hebrew Lexicon I've used - Rated
This is a wonderful resource for a student of Biblical Hebrew. I used it all the time in college and couldn't have gotten through my Hebrew classes without it. Make sure you get the index by Bruce Einspahr too.
a classic--a must-have for every Hebrew student - Rated
This is an excellent resource book. Especially helpful is the system of Strong's codes in the back.
excellent lexicon, includes heb, aramaic, copt, syr, and eth - Rated
This book is excellent. The binding is pretty rigid, somewhat hard to hold. Print is legible, references are easy to look up.
