"For I will take you from among the nations, gather you from all the countries, and return you to your own soil. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your uncleanness and from all your idols. I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit inside you; I will take the stony heart out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put my Spirit inside you and cause you to live by my laws, respect my rulings and obey them. You will live in the land I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God." Ezekiel 36:24 - 28

Goy, pl. Go•yim—corresponding to the Greek word ethnos in the New Testament , variously rendered "Gentile," "nation," "pagan," "non-Jew," and "Goy"; other versions sometimes translate it "heathen." As used among English-speaking Jews Goyim means "Non-Jews," i.e., those outside "our group"; as with all words employed in this way, it can have a positive, a neutral or a negative connotation, depending on the speaker and the situation. In the CJB, to avoid suggesting exclusivist overtones when the text does not intend them, the word is used rather rarely and then only when God is speaking or when a Jew is addressing other Jews.
