Ancient 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.
