Best Answer

Hebrew appears to be much older.


Like other Indo-Aryan languages, Hindi is considered to be a direct descendant of an early form of Sanskrit, through Sauraseni Prakrit and Śauraseni Apabhraṃśa. Hindi emerged as Apabhramsha (अपभ्रंश; corruption or corrupted speech), a vernacular form of Prakrit, in the 7th century CE.


Hebrew was already at least 1700 years old at this point, originating prior to 1000 BCE.
