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. It is not spoken in its pure form today, although it is studied both by religious Jews and by Christian theologians and academics for practical application and deeper understanding in their studies of the Torah and its commentaries. Jews usually learn it when studying ancient scriptures. It is also studied by linguistic scholars and historians. * Hebrew Bible: Audio Tracks

Hebrew is the language of the ancient Israelites, and is the official language of Israel. Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, although some of the latter books were written in Aramaic. From a linguistic point of view, the Classical Hebrew language is usually divided into two periods having very distinct grammatical patterns: Biblical Hebrew and Roman Era Hebrew. Biblical Hebrew is further divided into the so-called 'Golden Age' Hebrew (1200 BC to 500 BC) and 'Silver Age' Hebrew (500 BC to 60 BC). Silver Age Hebrew has many borrowings from Aramaic, for example the use of the conditional particle illu replacing lū. Roman Era Hebrew, or Mishnaic Hebrew, has further grammatical influences from Greek and Parsi, mainly through the dialect of Aramaic which was the lingua franca of the area at the time.
