    Historical Development
    The direct ancestor of the modern Hebrew script is the Paleo-Hebrew script, used for writing the Biblical Hebrew language during the First Temple period. Following the Babylonian exile, the square script, derived from Imperial Aramaic, began to displace the older Paleo-Hebrew forms, leading to the development of the script known today 2.
