Introduction to Biblical Hebrew
Biblical or Classical Hebrew is an archaic form of the Hebrew language, in which
the Hebrew Bible or Tanakh was written. It is the literary form of the
very conservative dialect of Jerusalem, which crystallized about 900 BCE and showed
little change until the Babylonian Exile in the 6th century BCE. The language
became an archaic literary vehicle radically different from the spoken Hebrew.
As a literary dialect it was used until the fall of the Second Temple in 70 CE
