The ancient israelites didn't have the advantage of 1 language for everything like we do. They had Aramaic for a common language, Hebrew for their religious language, Greek for the official language (which was used for all important writings), and Latin from their Roman overlords. I don't know how many people spoke all of them or even anything other than Aramaic and Hebrew.
