The ancient language of Jewish scripture and tradition, also spoken in modern Israel; also a person from ancient Judea.
From Greek 'Hebraios,' possibly derived from 'Eber,' a biblical ancestor, or from a word meaning 'to cross' (referring to crossing the Jordan River).
Hebrew was a 'dead language' for centuries, used only in religious texts, until Zionists revived it in the 1800s as a living spoken language—it's one of the only languages successfully brought back to everyday use.
