When God spoke light and everything in creation I believe he was speaking Hebrew
why would you say that. what proof do you have?
I personally believe he spoke a language non of us know yet.

Acts26:13-15
[SUP]13 [/SUP]At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.
Many will say that Jesus spoke Aramaic when he said "with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" Matthew 27:46
Eli is of Hebrew origin from what I've studied. The same words are in Psalm 22:1 written in Hebrew text.
אֵלִי אֵלִי, לָמָה עֲזַבְתָּנִ
Concerning the cry on the cross (quote from Psalm 22:1), the Peshitta (the earliest christian Aramaic translation) translate it using the word alaha, with the first person possessive suffix -i : alahi (ܐܲܠܵܗܝ ܐܲܠܵܗܝ ܠܡܵܢܵܐ ܫܒܲܩ̣ܬܵܢܝ̱ ). The original Hebrew Psalm used "Eli". Since the translator of the Greek gospel may not have been fluent in Aramaic, or used to transliterate Aramaic with Greek characters, it may be expected that the transliterations are approximates, hence a possible : eloi/alohi confusion.
