It's not possible to know for certain because both languages existed in spoken form before they were written. Examples of Written Hebrew are older, and date back to about the 11th century BCE . The earliest attested Sanskrit texts are religious texts of the Rigveda, from the mid-to-late second millennium BCE.
So even though there are older examples of written Hebrew, no one really knows what was happening in the language prior to the invention of writing.
This is a common belief, but it's not possible to know the answer to this, since both languages pre-date writing by thousands of years.
Tamil speakers say that Tamil is the oldest language in the world.
Orthodox Jews say that Hebrew is the oldest language in the world.
Neither claim is verifiable.
