Description
"And Saint Basil and Mar Aprim have decided that the first language which existed before the division of tongues was Syriac, even as the word 'Bhulbala' itself testifieth. But the pious Jacob and John of Yathreb think that Hebrew was the first language—the Hebrew which was preserved with Eber, for he was a righteous man and did not agree to the building of the Tower."
