The Bible's language journey began around 1200 BC, when the Hebrews started writing down their stories, laws, and prophecies. The Torah, the first five books of the Bible, was written in Hebrew, which was the language of the ancient Israelites. It's amazing to think that these writings have survived for so long!
But here's the thing: Aramaic also makes an appearance in the Bible, especially in the books of Daniel and Ezra. Aramaic was like the lingua franca of the ancient world, widely spoken across the Middle East. It's funny to think that Jesus might have spoken some Aramaic during his lifetime!
