Goim [1]

is thought to be the proper name of a people in northern Palestine ( גּוֹיַם , Goyim',  Joshua 12:23; Sept. Γωείμ Vulg. Gentes, A.V. "nations"), whose king lived at Gilgal (q.v.). A similar designation is employed also in  Genesis 14:1 respecting Tidal (q.v.), "king of nations" (Sept. Ἔθνη ,Vulg. Gentes). It is, however, the universal term for GENTILES (See Gentiles) (q.v.).
