Gov
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+.
