Most<00:22:10.660><c> historians</c><00:22:11.019><c> think</c><00:22:11.539><c> it's</c><00:22:12.119><c> a</c><00:22:12.200><c> form</c><00:22:12.640><c> of</c><00:22:12.920><c> Hebrew,</c><00:22:14.019><c> not</c><00:22:14.279><c> current</c><00:22:14.599><c> Hebrew,</c><00:22:15.200><c> but</c>

00:22:23.720 --> 00:22:27.920

00:22:40.400 --> 00:22:45.279
x
And<00:22:40.660><c> it</c><00:22:40.779><c> was</c><00:22:40.960><c> a</c><00:22:41.339><c> dialect,</c><00:22:42.400><c> a</c><00:22:42.519><c> God</c><00:22:42.880><c>-given</c><00:22:43.240><c> divine</c><00:22:43.619><c> dialect</c><00:22:44.440><c> that</c>

they<00:22:45.500><c> all</c><00:22:45.700><c> speak.</c>

00:22:46.160 --> 00:22:48.619

And<00:22:46.279><c> they</c><00:22:46.400><c> were</c><00:22:46.519><c> all</c><00:22:46.720><c> under</c><00:22:46.920><c> total</c><00:22:47.200><c> agreement</c><00:22:47.740><c> too.</c>

00:22:48.980 --> 00:22:52.740

So<00:22:49.519><c> it</c><00:22:49.619><c> was</c><00:22:49.720><c> a</c><00:22:49.839><c> divine</c><00:22:50.240><c> language</c><00:22:50.799><c> that</c><00:22:51.140><c> the</c><00:22:51.700><c> earth,</c><00:22:52.099><c> the</c><00:22:52.259><c> people</c><00:22:52.539><c> of</c>

the<00:22:52.819><c> world</c><00:22:53.059><c> were</c><00:22:53.259><c> speaking.</c>

00:22:57.579 --> 00:23:04.140

So<00:22:58.259><c> it's</c><00:22:58.599><c> really,</c><00:22:59.500><c> and</c><00:22:59.740><c> we're</c><00:22:59.960><c> told</c><00:23:00.200><c> that</c><00:23:00.940><c> this</c><00:23:01.160><c> language</c><00:23:01.640><c> will</c><00:23:02.019><c> return</c><00:23:02.599><c> in</c>

00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:12.960

00:23:22.480 --> 00:23:26.359
