I think Hebrew came first, which evolved into Aramaic, which was very widespread until the advent of Islam when Arabic took the place of Aramaic. So, it is possible that one is only slightly older than the other. Remember, languages evolve and blend... it's hard to say when one starts and stops, especially when archaeological evidence is limited.

Hebrew predates arabic by a thousand years and latin by almost that much. Although the shape of hebrew letters has evolved, early texts from 2200 years ago are still readable.

Many historians are realizing that Hebrew may be the first original language.

Hebrew is the oldest of the three you're asking about.
