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 Gut [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).<\/p>\n
goiyim (, goyim): 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.<\/p>\n
