In the Old Testament, it is often used to describe non-Israelite nations, commonly referred to as "Gentiles." However, it can also refer to the nation of Israel itself, emphasizing the collective identity of a people. The term underscores the distinction between Israel and other nations, often highlighting Israel's unique covenant relationship with God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, nations were often defined by their ethnic, cultural, and religious identities. The Israelites were distinct in their monotheistic worship of Yahweh, which set them apart from the polytheistic practices of surrounding nations. The term "goy" reflects the biblical narrative of Israel's calling to be a light to the nations, demonstrating God's holiness and justice. The distinction between Israel and the "goyim" (nations) is a recurring theme, especially in the context of Israel's mission and the prophetic vision of all nations coming to worship the God of Israel.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1481b.htm">gur</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a whelp<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>cubs (2).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">גּוֺר</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>whelp</b></font> (as <em>quarrelsome?</em> or onomatopoeia? perhaps = Assyrian <i><em>giru</em></i> Zehnpf<sup>BAS i. 504</sup>) of lion;
