The Hebrew alphabet The Hebrew alphabet developed alongside several other alphabets in the Middle East, more than 3000 years ago, but it's not known what individuals were involved. There was a different Hebrew alphabet in use prior to 3000 years ago, which may have developed as early as 8,000 years ago. The creators of that alphabet are also unknown.
