(, , regular plural , or ) is the standard Hebrew biblical term for a "nation", including that of Israel. The word nation has been the common translation of the Hebrew "goy", or "ethnesin" (ἔθνεσιν) in the LXX, from the earliest English language bibles such as the 1604 King James Version and the 1530 Tyndale Bible, following the Latin Vulgate which used both gentile (and cognates) and nationes / nationibus. The term "nation" did not have the same political connotations it entails today.
