      Doesn’t matter what language he spoke (probably biblical Hebrew), he was a descendant from a people referred to as Hebrews (see Exodus 2:1-10).

      Weird. Then why can I read the inscription in this photo of a text composed 3500 years ago? I guess some time traveler learned this totally invented 19th century language and taught it to the people back then, and also came up with Arabic and some other languages that are pretty closely related.

      By the way, it says not to lie (although his hand is partly covering it).
