Hebraïs (Ἑβραΐς)

Hebraïs (Ἑβραΐς) is a Greek noun meaning “Hebrew” language. Although it literally means “in Hebrew,” the term is commonly used to refer to the Aramaic dialect spoken by the Jews in the 1st century. While the Jewish people of that time primarily spoke a form of Aramaic, it was often referred to as “Hebrew” due to its association with Jewish identity and Scripture. This does not imply that Aramaic and Hebrew are identical languages. Rather, hebraïs (Ἑβραΐς)is a broad term referring to the native Semitic tongue of the Jews.
