| Not identical, because: identical with *what*? There was no Hebrew language in the 1st half of the 1st millennium BCE, but merely a dialect continuum of some South Levantine Canaanite languages (or dialects), which later, under the dominance of the literate Judahite, formed what later was called a "Hebrew language".
