What as the language of the Jews in the Bible and today?

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.

Is Judah in Israel?

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.
