The reference to Hebrew is interesting, but there seems to be something overlooked here.

The King James or New International versions of the Bible were translated from prior languages. That doesn’t devalue the significance of the text.

Why couldn’t early Biblical texts have been written in a language that preceded Hebrew? Why is it important to refer to this as an early version of Hebrew?

It may have simply been an earlier language than Hebrew.
