Gentiles
jen´tı̄lz (גּוי, gōy, plural גּוים, gōyim; ἔθνος, éthnos, “people,” “nation”): Goy (or Goi) is rendered “Gentiles” in the King James Version in some 30 passages, but much more frequently “heathen,” and oftener still, “nation,” which latter is the usual rendering in the Revised Version (British and American), but it is commonly used for a non-Israelitish people, and thus corresponds to the meaning of Gentiles.” It occurs, however, in passages referring to the Israelites, as in Gen_12:2; Deu_32:28; Jos_3:17; Jos_4:1; Jos_10:13; 2Sa_7:23; Isa_1:4; Zep_2:9, but the word (עם, ‛ām) is the term commonly used for the people of God. In the New Testament ethnos is the word corresponding to gōy in the Old Testament and is rendered “Gentiles” by both VSS, while (λαός, laós) is the word which corresponds to ‛ām̌. The King James Version also renders Ἕλληνες, Héllēnes, “Gentiles” in six passages (Joh_7:35; Rom_2:9, Rom_2:10; Rom_3:9; 1Co_10:32; 1Co_12:13), but the Revised Version (British and American) renders “Greeks.”
