Genesis 10:5 (KJV)
5 By these were the isles of the Gentiles divided in their lands; every one after his tongue, after their families, in their nations.
The word “gentile” is only mentioned once in the table of nations. And this is the first time that the word “gentile” was mentioned in scripture.
Does this imply that the Japhetic peoples are the true gentiles or that they are especially gentile in some way?
Philip Williams
‘Gentiles’ is just another name for ‘nations.’ An equivalent King James translation is ‘Heathen.’
Abraham was born a Gentile, a child of idolaters. What marks him as the father of the chosen people came when he was circumcised.
