[Paal Gulli]

"Hebrew is a Semitic language, and not very related to English at all."

The fact there is exactly ZERO commonalty between their alphabets, ZERO cognates, and one is written L-R but the other is written R-L is proof of that.

[Verginius Rufus]

The Greek alphabet is derived from the Phoenician alphabet. The Greeks added symbols for vowels, and after a while reversed the direction of writing. The Roman alphabet which we use is derived from the Greek alphabet.

The Hebrew alphabet is basically the same as the Phoenician alphabet, but at some point the Jews adopted the Aramaic letter forms which are a bit different from the early Phoenician letter forms.

So even though the current English and Hebrew alphabets are quite different, they have a common ancestry. There aren't any cognates between English and Hebrew, because they are from different language families, but there are a number of Hebrew loan words in English. Amen, hallelujah.
