Gen 11:1: And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.

The Prophet Moses details, in this chapter, an event of great significance for the explanation of the table of nations in the previous chapter. All the posterities of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, used the same language — one mutually intelligible speech. They spoke in the same manner because of the same vocabulary. There was no two tongues about it.

Of interest to many is the original language that was used by the Creator in His communication with Mankind, and among Mankind themselves. Could the language used be the Hebrew language? There are strong evidences for it. Of all the languages which came after the confusion of tongues in Babel, the Hebrew language was used of God in communication. This language had remained in the family of Eber (Heber), out of whom God called a man through whom He would establish a nation, a unique nation that bears His Name. Out of this unique nation, God called certain men, and ordained them to be His messengers (prophets and seers). To them, God spoke in the language they would later use to record for the nation’s posterity. The proper names of persons, places and things in the language had great significance. To those prophets and seers, God spoke to them in Hebrew and gave the revelation of His will to His nation, Israel.
