The Hebrew language, distinct from the Canaanite languages of its neighbours, seems to have developed in the tenth or ninth centuries BCE, and was probably an evolution of the Jerusalem dialect. This was the language of the early citizens of Judah.

Around the end of the Babylonian Exile, the Persians adopted Aramaic as the lingua franca for its empire, so the Jews ceased to use Hebrew for day-to-day conversation, speaking Aramaic instead. After the Alexandrian conquests, the entire Near East adopted Greek as its language, except for the Jews, who continued to speak and write in Aramaic.

Further the tribe of Judah was not the tribe of the priests, it was the tribe of the kings of Judah. The people of the tribe of Judah who resided in Jerusalem with the tribe of Benjamin spoke Hebrew, until the time of Alexander the Great and later his general Ptolemy who forced the Greek language upon the people under their rule. This is why one observes the text shift from Hebrew to Greek between the old and New testaments.
