This last part is contentious. Many would argue that the NT authors were 
more likely native speakers of Aramaic, but they would very likely have 
been well acquainted with Hebrew from childhood at least at the 
synagogue. The everyday Hebrew of the time was not precisely Biblical, 
but it was a lot closer to Biblical Hebrew than is the modern language. 
So there is a good chance that they understood the obscure parts of the 
Hebrew Bible a lot better than anyone does today.
