A regional dialect of the Canaanite languages, it was natively spoken by the Israelites and remained in regular use as a first language until after 200 CE and as the liturgical language of Judaism (since the Second Temple period) and Samaritanism.

Their office or position is the "priesthood", a term which also may apply to such persons collectively.

Romanization of HebrewThe Hebrew language uses the Hebrew alphabet with optional vowel diacritics. The Romanization of Hebrew refers specifically to the use of the Latin alphabet to represent Hebrew words. For example, the Hebrew name יִשְׂרָאֵל ('Israel') can be Romanized as Yisrael or Yiśrāʼēl in addition to Israel. Particularly in contexts where the Latin alphabet is the dominant writing system, Romanization and transliteration are often used interchangeably.
