First don't make the mistake of assuming all Israel are Jews.... Which many people do. There are 12 tribes of Israel and Judah (Jews) is but one tribe. Further the tribe of Judah was not the tribe of the priests, it was the tribe of the kings of Judah. The people of the tribe of Judah who resided in Jerusalem with the tribe of Benjamin spoke Hebrew, until the time of Alexander the Great and later his general Ptolemy who forced the Greek language upon the people under their rule. This is why one observes the text shift from Hebrew to Greek between the old and New testaments.
Hellenes is the correct spelling and this term is often used interchangeable with "Greek" during the Hellenistic Age.In Greek mythology, Hellen was the King of Phthia (at the northern end of the Gulf of Euboea). He was the eponymous ancestor of all true Greeks. Therefore, Greeks eventually were called Hellenes in his honor.The Hellenistic or Greek Age was from 333-63 BC. The Jewish homeland (Israel, then referred to as Judah) was conquered by Alexander the Great of Ancient Greece.Jews during this time were said to be Hellenized. This meant they were influenced or taking on the culture, language and traditions of the Greek people surrounding them.

AnswerAramaic is a Semitic language, related to Hebrew. It originated in the kingdom of Aram in modern Syria and was later adopted by the Persians as their unifying administrative language for the empire. After Alexander's defeat of the Persian Empire, the nations of the former Persian Empire adopted Greek as their common language. Judah was the sole exception, retaining Aramaic as its language.
The original langues were Hebrew (old Testament) Chaldee (during the captivity of Judah in Babylon) and Greek (new Testament). These have been translated into nearly every language in existence
The former kingdom of Judah is now part of modern Israel and partly in the Palestinian Territory. Judah was a small inland enclave surrounding the city of Jerusalem and quite separate from the kingdom of Israel to its north. Biblical tradition holds that in former times, Judah and Israel had formed a United Monarchy, also known as Israel, but noted archaeologists such as Israel Finkelstein say that this was never the case. Judah and Israel were always separate and had their own separate culture, pottery styles and even their own separate dialects of the Hebrew language.
