gōi´yim (גּוים, gōyim):

This word, rendered in the King James Versionnations,” “heathen,” “Gentiles,” is commonly translated simply “nations” in the Revised Version (British and American). In Genesis 14:1 where the King James Version has “Tidal, king of nations,” the Revised Version (British and American) retains in the text the Hebrew “Goiim” as a proper name. Some identify with Gutium. The Hebrew word is similarly retained in Joshua 12:23.
