Hebrew existed as a spoken language before the first written records appeared. The first attempts at alphabetic writing are generally thought to have come about through the interaction of Semitic speaking peoples of the Levant with Egypt around the beginning of the second millennium BCE. Vowels were not added to this writing system until quite late.
In the Iron Age (first millennium BCE), variations of the alphabetic script were used to record a number related languages such as Hebrew, Moabite and Aramaic. The Hebrew Bible is the most substantial text in the ancient Near Eastern alphabetic tradition of this period.
