Another related term is גּוֹי (goy, Strong's H1471), meaning nation or people, often used to refer to non-Israelite nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "allophulos" is used in the New Testament to denote someone who is of a different tribe or nation, often referring to non-Israelites or Gentiles. It emphasizes the distinction between the people of Israel and those outside the covenant community. In the context of the New Testament, it often highlights the cultural and religious differences between Jews and Gentiles.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient world, tribal and national identities were significant, and the Israelites were distinct in their covenant relationship with God. The term "allophulos" reflects the Jewish perspective of separation from other nations, which was both a cultural and religious distinction. This separation was rooted in the Mosaic Law, which set Israel apart as God's chosen people. However, the New Testament reveals the breaking down of these barriers through Christ, who unites Jews and Gentiles into one body.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/243.htm">allos</a> and phulon (a race, tribe)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of another race<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>foreigner (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 246: ἀλλόφυλος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀλλόφυλος</span></span>, (<span class="greek2">ἄλλος</span>, and <span class="greek2">φῦλον</span> race), <span class="accented">foreign,</span> (in secular authors from (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span>) <span class="abbreviation">Thucydides</span> down); when used in Hellenistic Greek in opposed to a Jew, it signifies <span class="accented">a Gentile,</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
