Hebrew is an artificial language; in ye olden times it was a holy language, like Ecclesiastical Latin or Church Slavonic - separate from the common tongue, because in a living language, word can change meaning, and in Abrahamic theology, that's a big NO. The spoken languages were Yiddish, Ladino or, for kikes who hid among the muslims, Jewish Arabic.
Hebrew in modern Israel is basically a jew version of Esperanto and is closest to the Arabic dialects that are spoken in Iraq.
