This essay refers to following three linguistic motives in the Bible: logos thought, Adam`s language, and the origination of its diversity from the Babel. These motives are still found in fundamental problems of general linguistics and linguistic philosophy, and there are still in operation on various linguistic research: 1) Logos thought, which says that language and thinking are not different but different sides of one object, had a great effect on German mysticism and reached its climax by Joh. G. Hamann. The dualism and the unified theory on the relationship between language and thought emerged as an alternative to the monism. 2) In Adam`s language, the following linguistic understanding can be confirmed: Adam needed a language even though he had no one to talk to. In order words, language is a precondition to constitution and understanding of the world. Communication by language can be possible only if this condition is assumed. 3) From the incident of Babylon, God did not deprive us of language itself but made it diverse. From a linguistics` viewpoint, this can be interpreted not as punishment but as blessing. From this incident, members of one linguistic community can constitute and understand the world for their interests and needs without the constraint of the only language.
