How would the Rambam explain how they communicated with one another in biblical times? Did they only speak Lashon HaKoesh for refined purposes? How did they conduct business? In some other language? I doubt it.

<<Also, note what the RAMBAM wrote regarding Hebrew,  namely,
"Because of the holiness of the language, [41] it is
not fitting to use it except for refined purposes."  This makes
me wonder how one can use Hebrew as a day to day language as they
obviously do in EY.  YL>>
