Hebrew, the Hebrew language; not that however in which the 
O. T. was written, but the Chaldee (not Syro-Chaldaic, as it is commonly but incorrectly called; cf. 
A. Th. Hoffmann, Grammat. Syriac., p. 14), which at the time of Jesus and the apostles had long superseded it in Palestine: 
Acts 21:40; 
Acts 22:2; 
Acts 26:14; 
Ἑβραΐς φωνή, 
4 Macc. 12:7; 16:15. [Cf. 
B. D., under the phrase, Shemitic Languages etc.; ibid. American edition, under the phrase, Language of the New Testament, Kautzsch p. 17f.; 
Neubauer in Studia Biblica (Oxford, 1885) pp. 39-74.]
