Biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew are very different, pretty much just like old English and modern English. Yiddish is a totally different language, it is written in the Hebrew alphabet and it has some words of Hebrew origin but it is completely different, it's actually a lot closer to German.

Yiddish is a mix of German, English, Hebrew and Russian actually. not much similar other than some Hebrew words and alphabet biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew are very similar. I actually don't think it's to the extent old English and new English are different. when Ben Yehuda renewed the language he took the words from the biblical Hebrew and tried to add words with a similar sound. one famous example is the word jam. he took the sentence ריבה לו מיני מתיקה where ריבה means he added or he had many so he add many sweet things and used it for jam. there are more examples like that. מגמה, מגמת פניהם there are also places that due to him not being a talmud expert he made some mistakes but I can't say from the top of my head... also, another big difference is that the nikkud is different. kamatz is o in biblical Hebrew and a in modern. segol I think is sei and not se etc. in biblical Hebrew there is a different way to some words depending on the meaning of the sentences for example modern is ירד למצרים old is ירד מצרימה we're also not sure that the names he applied to animals today are the same animals that are mentioned in the Bible. and lastly, I'm pretty sure that they used a different alphabet at certain periods... most of the writings we find I'm Jerusalem are in one that I don't remember the name right now and are changing with the period. it's actually one of the alphabet of the local people here in Israel. that was an interesting question to tackle. thanks for that. @Seti6

not much similar other than some Hebrew words and alphabet

biblical Hebrew and modern Hebrew are very similar. I actually don't think it's to the extent old English and new English are different.
when Ben Yehuda renewed the language he took the words from the biblical Hebrew and tried to add words with a similar sound.
one famous example is the word jam. he took the sentence
ריבה לו מיני מתיקה
where ריבה means he added or he had many
so he add many sweet things and used it for jam.
there are more examples like that.
מגמה, מגמת פניהם
there are also places that due to him not being a talmud expert he made some mistakes but I can't say from the top of my head...
also, another big difference is that the nikkud is different. kamatz is o in biblical Hebrew and a in modern. segol I think is sei and not se etc.
in biblical Hebrew there is a different way to some words depending on the meaning of the sentences
for example
modern is ירד למצרים
old is ירד מצרימה
we're also not sure that the names he applied to animals today are the same animals that are mentioned in the Bible.
and lastly, I'm pretty sure that they used a different alphabet at certain periods... most of the writings we find I'm Jerusalem are in one that I don't remember the name right now and are changing with the period. it's actually one of the alphabet of the local people here in Israel.

that was an interesting question to tackle. thanks for that.
