Yes, Hebraisti is the Greek name name of the language spoken by the Jews (Hebraios) of Paleastine in the 1st century AD, which happend to be Chaldeean. It's a historical fact.

Just because the Greeks called the language "Hebrew" (because Hebraios spoke it) doesn't mean it was OT Greek. Even the Jewish sources certify that the spoken language was Chaldean (Aramaic). What the Greeks called it did not change the language from Chaldean into OT Hebrew.

You just can't grasp that, can you?
