Additional Answer:
While most of the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) is written in Ancient Hebrew, there are a few passages/verses written in the more modern 'Aramaic' (an Aramean language of northern Syria) probably post the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Tribes (circa 722-718 BC). See Genesis 31:47; Ezra 4:8; 6:18; and 7:12-26, and Jeremiah 10:11).

Why is the old testament called the Hebrew Scriptures?
The name Old Testament derives from the Christian view of the text, namely that it refers to the first covenant that God made, i.e. the older of the two covenants or testaments. The New Testament refers to the second covenant that God made, this time through Jesus. It just happens that because Christianity is derived from Judaism, the Jewish Bible is nearly the same as the Old Testament.
