The oiginal Bereshit, the first section of the Mikra, was written left to right. This was ancient Hebrew but the writing was in Aramaic in the form of abjad.

So they should both be Aramaic but the “dialects” would have been ~960 to ~480 years apart and from different regions.

But in this case maybe hebrewed his own favorite translation since he used an “online translator”. He probably has the first DNA version of a poorly translated tattoo.
