Jesus the Christ
James E. Talmage
Gentiles.—In a general way the Jews designated all other peoples as Gentiles; though the same Hebrew word is rendered in the Old Testament variously, as “Gentiles” (Genesis 10:5; Judges 4:2, 13, 16; Isaiah 11:10; etc.), “nations” (Genesis 10:5, 20, 31, 32; 14:1, 9; etc.), and “heathen” (Nehemiah 5:8; Psalm 2:1, 8, etc.), the essential element of designation being that of foreigners.
