<p> <strong> GOIIM </strong> 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 &nbsp; [[Genesis]] 14:1 , where AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has ‘king of nations,’ RV [Note: Revised Version.] retains <em> [[Goiim]] </em> (possibly a corruption from <em> GutÃ® </em> [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 &nbsp; Joshua 12:23 . Possibly in &nbsp; Genesis 14:1 the reference may be to the <em> Umman-manda </em> , or ‘hordes’ of northern peoples, who from time to time invaded [[Assyria]] (so Sayce). </p>

<p> ''''' gōi´yim ''''' ( גּוים , <i> ''''' gōyim ''''' </i> ): This word, rendered in the King James Version "nations," "heathen," "Gentiles," is commonly translated simply "nations" in the Revised Version (British and American). In &nbsp; Genesis 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 &nbsp; Joshua 12:23 . </p>
