I see random phrases rather than idioms in your examples. Isaac Mozeson
(The Word) collected a heap of apparent Hebraisms in other languages,
some surprisingly meaningful, but still short of proving any systemic
correlation.
On other hand, there is indeed a very strong idiomatic and etymological
correlation between Hebrew and Russian, amply documented in Steinberg's
dictionary.
