zoolatrous Heathen (
Heb .
plural goyum ).
At first the word _goyim_ denoted generally all the nations of the world (
Gen .
18 :
18 ;
comp .
Gal .
3 :
8 ).
The Jews afterwards became a people distinguished in a marked manner from the other _goyim_ .
They were a separate people (
Lev .
20 :
23 ;
26 :
14 -
45 ;
Deut .
28 ),
and the other nations ,
the Amorites ,
Hittites ,
etc .,
were the _goyim_ ,
the heathen ,
with whom the Jews were forbidden to be associated in any way (
Josh .
23 :
7 ;
1 Kings 11 :
2 ).
The practice of idolatry was the characteristic of these nations ,
and hence the word came to designate idolaters (
Ps .
106 :
47 ;
Jer .
46 :
28 ;
Lam .
1 :
3 ;
Isa .
36 :
18 ),
the wicked (
Ps .
9 :
5 ,
15 ,
17 ).
The corresponding Greek word in the New Testament ,
_ethne_ ,
has similar shades of meaning .
In Acts 22 :
21 ,
Gal .
3 :
14 ,
it denotes the people of the earth generally ;
and in Matt .
6 :
7 ,
an idolater .
In modern usage the word denotes all nations that are strangers to revealed religion .
