Hi, 
I would like a sort of a brief Biblical exegesis on the word "dust" including 
a list of all the places in the Bible (old and new testaments) where
it occurs, and an explanation of the word or words that mean dust in
Biblical Hebrew and Biblical Greek. (For that piece, I want a
phoenetic description of the words and other meanings that they
carry.)

If you are interested in doing this but find the price too low for the
amount of research it requires, please let me know.

Thanks!

Dear elizabethdeveer-ga,

I believe that all your questions can be answered by referring you to
one web site. It is an excellent resource: crosswalk.com

They supply Old and New Testament lexicons. 

"New Testament Greek lexicon based on Thayer's and Smith's Bible
Dictionary plus others; this is keyed to the large Kittel and the
"Theological Dictionary of the New Testament." Also included are
RealAudio pronunciations of each word with alternates pronunciations
if available."

"The Old Testament Hebrew lexicon is Brown, Driver, Briggs, Gesenius
Lexicon; this is keyed to the "Theological Word Book of the Old
Testament." Also included are RealAudio pronunciations of each word
with alternate pronunciations if available."

As an example, this is how to research ?dust? in the Old Testament.

Click on this link and you will taken to the start page.
http://bible.crosswalk.com/Lexicons/

Click the link on Old Testament>
Enter ?dust? in the search box as an English term for King James Version lexicon.
You will then see four entries for dust. Each will have the Original
Word, the Word Origin, Transliterated Word, Phonetic Spelling, sound
file with the word, definitions and links to each verse in which it
appears.

There is too much information on 'dust' to place here which is why I
am just referring you to the site.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any problems extracting
the information, then please ask for clarification of this research
before rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request
as soon as I receive it.
Thank you

Thank you for this reference, the web site looks like it will be a
very helpful resource. I understand that there may be a lot of
information there, but I had hoped to get the information all in once
place without having to go back and forth between the web site and a
document. (I am working on a very slow internet connection.)

I don't know whether to ask you to compile some of it anyway or if I
should just plug away at it. While the resource is exactly what I
needed, the answer is not quite what I was hoping.

OK, you are right, there is way too much information about this to post here. 
thanks
