    Modern hebrew is a recent (post WW2) reconstruction of ancient hebrew that just kinda makes shit up sometimes. I wouldn't call them the same thing.

    The lineage of ancient Hebrew was Yiddish just as todays greek naturally grew out of ancient greek (probably idk the language history of greek so maybe its weird too idk)
