| Yale University Library - Hebraica Team: About Hebrew (593 words) |
 | Ancient Hebrew, the language of the Bible, was succeeded by an intermediary form, Mishnaic Hebrew, about the 3rd century BC. |
| Hebrew was preserved, however, as the language of ritual and sacred writing and through the centuries has undergone periodic literary revivals. |
| Hebrew vocabulary was further augmented in the Middle Ages by the Arabic influence on philosophic writing and through translations of Arabic philosophical and scientific works. |
