𐤍𐤊𐤓𐤉𐤄
nokrîy
of a stranger
An individual or entity characterized by being foreign, unfamiliar, or other, with the primary lexical value 'foreigner' or 'outsider.' In many contexts, denotes a person not belonging to the recognized kinship group, tribe, or nation—especially someone not of the Israelite community. The term can range from an ethnically distinct foreigner, a traveler or sojourner, to something or someone considered unusual, unfamiliar, or estranged. In certain usages—especially when applied to women (nokrîyâ)—it also carries the sense of 'adulterous' or 'one who does not belong by covenant.'
