The Hebrew language is written with an ancient Semitic alphabet that shares an ancestor with the Aramaic and Arabic alphabets. This illustrates the Tiberian pronunciation of Hebrew that was spoken in the second Temple era and began in the late Biblical period after the return of the Hebrews from their exile in Babylon. Early Biblical Hebrew - also known as Paleo Hebrew - is slightly different and is illustrated in the video “The Paleo Hebrew Alphabet“.
