Why was it argued that the Hebrew bible canonization should include only Hebrew documents and not other languages?
They felt it was important for the preservation of the Hebrew language. It was also believed that the documents that were not in Hebrew or Aramaic (i.e. that were in Greek) were more corrupted and less reliable.
Answer:
It wasn't "argued." There was never any question. The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) contains the prophecies of Israelite prophets, who spoke and wrote in Hebrew. Those few chapters which were given in Aramaic (see parts of the book of Daniel, for example), were preserved in that language. Had the prophets communicated in any other language, the Tanakh would have recorded and preserved their exact words.
Note also that, according to Jewish tradition, the canon of the Hebrew Bible was sealed around 340 BCE, in the last years of Hebrew prophecy.
