A good commentator to add to the others' thoughts. It doesn't seem any more rooted in the Hebrew meanings than the others, though.Luke Sawczak– Luke Sawczak2018-05-14 03:48:13 +00:00Commented May 14, 2018 at 3:48

@LukeSawczak Why is it not rooted in the Hebrew meanings? He is saying that "saphah" means language whereas "devarim" means words.Alex– Alex2018-05-14 04:20:34 +00:00Commented May 14, 2018 at 4:20

I said it's no more rooted in it than the others. I think extrapolating from "words" to "level of sophistication" is just as speculative as extrapolating from "lip" to " pronunciation". Using a different set of words doesn't always imply being more or less sophisticated in your speech! It's possible but I would just add it to the list of possibilities.Luke Sawczak– Luke Sawczak2018-05-14 04:33:50 +00:00Commented May 14, 2018 at 4:33

@LukeSawczak That part is not really essential to the answer. The main point is that the verse is discussing two different things: the language they spoke, and the words they used.Alex– Alex2018-05-14 18:10:26 +00:00Commented May 14, 2018 at 18:10

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. word-study), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
