Russian and Ukrainian are sister languages coming from a common root of Rus / East Slavic 1000+ years ago and shares major overlap. There are Russian words that are rare words in Ukrainian and vice verse, like the Ukrainian word "Abo" (meaning "or" in English). Likewise, English and French are separate languages, but there has been so much cultural and historical overlap (like the Norman invasion), that there are instances where French words show up as legitimate English words that are used less commonly than English ones.
I would not be surprised to find the same thing with Hebrew and Aramaic, or even with Egyptian or Phoenician words showing up in rare instances in Hebrew as legitimate Hebrew words, either as borrowings or from a common Semitic source. I imagine that "Hey"/"He" could be one such instance if it is showing up in Torah, the earliest books in Tanakh.
