Goy, pl. Go•yim—corresponding to the
Greek word ethnos in the New Testament , variously rendered
"Gentile," "nation," "pagan,"
"non-Jew," and "Goy"; other versions sometimes
translate it "heathen." As used among English-speaking Jews Goyim
means "Non-Jews," i.e., those outside "our group"; as with
all words employed in this way, it can have a positive, a neutral or a
negative connotation, depending on the speaker and the situation. In the CJB,
to avoid suggesting exclusivist overtones when the text does not intend them,
the word is used rather rarely and then only when God is speaking or when a
Jew is addressing other Jews. Mt 5:47+.
