is thought to be the proper name of a people in northern Palestine (גּוֹיַם , Goyim', Joshua 12:23; Sept. Γωείμ Vulg. gentes, A.V. "nations"), whose king lived at Gilgal (q.v.). A similar designation is employed also in Genesis 14:1 respecting Tidal (q.v.), "king of nations" (Sept. ἔθνη,Vulg. gentes). It is, however, the universal term for GENTILES (See GENTILES) (q.v.).
