SIBI-P1 H1471-02
in a nation
| Root | גוי (g-w-y) |
| Core Meanings | mass, body, collective, nationhood, people-group |
| Semantic Range | nation, people-group, ethnic body, Gentile nation, heathen people, collective troop (figurative) |
| Conceptual Significance | גּוֹי emphasizes the idea of a unified collective bound together as a political or ethnic entity. In Scripture it distinguishes Israel from the surrounding nations while also affirming that Israel itself is called to be a גּוֹי קדושׁ—a holy nation—set apart within the family of peoples. |
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ (“in”) prefixed to a masculine singular absolute noun (Ncmsa). No article; indefinite singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun גּוֹי denotes a collective body or people-group, reflecting the root idea of a mass gathered together. The form is masculine singular absolute with the prefixed preposition בְּ (“in”), so the rendering preserves the singular sense and the locative force: “in a nation.” |
