But since God is portrayed as using speech during creation, and as addressing Adam before Gen 2:19, some authorities assumed that the language of God was different from the language of Paradise invented by Adam, while most medieval Jewish authorities maintained that the Hebrew language was the language of God, which was accepted in Western Europe from at least the 16th century and until the early 20th century.
Tetapi karena Tuhan digambarkan menggunakan perkataan saat penciptaan, dan saat memanggil Adam sebelum Kejadian 2:19, beberapa ahli mengasumsikan bahasa Tuhan berbeda dari bahasa surga yang ditemukan oleh Adam, sementara kebanyakan para ahli Yahudi abad pertengahan menyatakan bahwa bahasa Yahudi adalah bahasa Tuhan, yang diterima di Eropa Barat sejak abad ke-16 sampai awal abad ke-20.
