Gentiles
The first place we see the word "gentiles" in the bible is Genesis 10:5 where it appears twice.[1] The first pace it is said to mean "Gentiles" and the second place it is translated "nations."
It is from the Hebrew word "gowy" [GamelVavYod ] [2] which is only translated "gentiles" 30 times but translated "nation" 374 times.
We see the same pattern of translating the same word different ways in the new Testament with the word [3] translated Gentiles 93 times, but nation 64 times.
We also see the Greek word "Hellen" translated "Greek" 20 times, and translated "gentile" 7 times.[4]
