| | Biblical Hebrew language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Biblical or Classical Hebrew is the ancient form of the Hebrew language, in which the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) was written, and which the ancient Israelites spoke. | | | Modern evolutions, or adaptions, of Classical Hebrew are in active use today, mostly in the form of various modern Jewish dialects of Hebrew, as well as Samaritan Hebrew language, which is used primarily by the Samaritans. | | | Biblical Hebrew is further divided into the so called 'Golden Age' Hebrew (1200 BCE to 500 BCE) and 'Silver Age' Hebrew (500 BCE to 60 BCE). |

| | Hebrew language |
| | This becomes the language with which the Old Testament later is written. | | | For modern times, several scholars have developed new words which are based upon the structures of Hebrew, but Hebrew has at all times absorbed words from other languages, including Arabic, Persian, Greek, Latin, Yiddish and especially Aramaic. | | | In the following years the guttural sounds of Hebrew are simplified, and there is a strong influx of words from Greek, Latin, and Persian. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hebrew Language and Literature |
| | In the sixteenth century the study of Hebrew, hitherto almost exclusively confined to the Jews, was taken up by Christian scholars, and under the influence of the Protestant principle of the Bible as the sole rule of faith it received a great impetus. | | | In fact, it is claimed by some that the Hebrew of the Old Testament betrays evidences of as great a disintegration and departure from its assumed typical perfection as does the vulgar Arabic of to-day from the classical idiom of the golden literary age of Islam. | | | Among Biblical scholars the language of the Old Testament is sometimes termed "ancient" or "classical" Hebrew in opposition to the neo-Hebrew of the Mishna. |

| | The Hebrew alphabet of twenty-two letters (five of which have a different form when they appear at the end of a word) consists entirely of consonants. | | | For over three millennia Hebrew has been the religious, and often the literary and secular, language of the Jewish people. | | | In the post biblical period Hebrew gradually gave way to Aramaic as the spoken language, but continued throughout the centuries to serve as the language of ritual, prayer, literature, and written communication. |

| | HEBREW LANGUAGE |
| | The original Hebrew of the 15th and 14th centuries B.C.E. was written in the proto-Sinaitic script; a script created by the Hebrew scribes shortly after the Hebrew people left the Egyptian exile with the Prophet Moses. | | | Biblical Hebrew is the Hebrew of the books found in the Hebrew Tanakh (Bible), what the Christian world calls erroneously "The Old Testament.". | | | This does not mean that the Hebrews did not have words for these missing expressions or items, but that, for one reason or another, they did not find their way into the Bible. |

| | Helpful Hints on Hebrew |
| | The Northeast Semitic branch is called Akkadian and, generally speaking, was the language of the Assyrians and Babylonians, and the Southwest branch embraces Arabic. | | | We do not know what language the patriarch Abraham spoke when he came from Haran (we can reasonably assume it was an early form of Aramaic) but, apparently, after settling in Canaan he adopted the local Canaanite dialect which became the basis for Israel's national language. | | | When we refer to the Hebrew language in this study, we are, in effect, referring to the language of the Old Testament. |
