mAncient Hebrew was the tongue of the ancient Israelites, who were God's chosen people, in the Old Testament. Hebrew is a Semitic language, related to Aramaic, the language of Jesus.
The [[Old Testament]] was written in Hebrew and [[Aramaic]]. The Hebrew Old Testament scriptures contain many prefigurations of the coming Messiah, [[Jesus Christ]]. These images are beautiful and poetic.
The original Hebrew died out as a spoken language. Modern Hebrew is a restoration of Ancient Hebrew with many differences to the older form.
