Gentiles

In a religious context, "Gentiles" refers to people who are not members of the Jewish community. The term is often used in the Bible and Jewish tradition to distinguish non-Jewish nations and individuals from the Jewish people, who are considered God's chosen. Historically, Gentiles encompass all those outside the covenant of Israel, including various nations and ethnic groups. The term highlights cultural and religious differences but is used neutrally without implying any value judgment. Today, it mainly appears in religious texts or discussions related to Jewish history and identity.
