'Language' in the Bible

And all the earth had one language and one tongue.

And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

They were not conscious that the sense of their words was clear to Joseph, for he had been talking to them through one who had knowledge of their language.
