"Goyim" in the bible

[Shadowmage]

It may seem surprising, but the word "goyim" appears hundreds of times in the bible. In the New Testament, the Greek word "ethnikoi" is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word "goyim", and other words are used as euphemisms for "goyim".

The Orthodox Jewish Bible is an English bible for messianic jews (jews who believe Jesus is their messiah) which includes the New Testament and keeps many Hebrew words like "Goyim" intact. All in all, there are 352 verses in the OT and 102 in the NT in the Orthodox Jewish Bible that speak against "goyim":

Psalms 2:1 OJB:
Why do the Goyim rage, and the Amim (peoples) imagine a vain thing?


Isaiah 40:15 KJV:
Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

Isaiah 40:15 OJB:
Surely the Goyim are like a drop in a bucket, and are accounted as dust of the scales; surely He taketh up the iyim (islands) like fine dust.

what do you have to say about the "new world translation" by jehovah's witnesses? how accurate it is compared to other translations? and how many crypto jews control the watchtower society?
