Goiim

VIEW:33 DATA:01-04-2020

GOIIM is the Heb. word which in EV [Note: English Version.] is variously rendered ‘Gentiles,’ ‘nations,’ ‘heathen’ (see Preface to RV [Note: Revised Version.] of OT). In the obscure expression in Gen_14:1, where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘king of nations,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] retains Goiim (possibly a corruption from Gutî [a people living to the E. of the little Zab]) as a proper name, although RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] offers the alternative rendering ‘nations.’ The same difference in rendering between AV [Note: Authorized Version.] and RV [Note: Revised Version.] is found also in Jos_12:23. Possibly in Gen_14:1 the reference may be to the Umman-manda, or ‘hordes’ of northern peoples, who from time to time invaded Assyria (so Sayce).

gōi?yim (גּוים, gōyim): This word, rendered in the King James Version ?nations,? ?heathen,? ?Gentiles,? is commonly translated simply ?nations? in the Revised Version (British and American). In Gen_14:1 where the King James Version has ?Tidal, king of nations,? the Revised Version (British and American) retains in the text the Hebrew ?Goiim? as a proper name. Some identify with Gutium. The Hebrew word is similarly retained in Jos_12:23.
