different between goy vs gox

English

Alternative forms

• Goy
• goi, Goi

Etymology

Borrowed from Yiddish ???? (goy, “gentile”), from Hebrew ?????? (goi, “nation”).

Compare Exodus 19:6: ????? ????? ???? ???? (mamlekhet kohanim wegoy qadosh, “ […] a kingdom of priests and a holy nation”) (referring to the Jewish people). The word goy technically refers not to non-Jews, but rather to a nation per se; the Jews are said to constitute a “goy”. But through common usage – namely referring to "the [other non-Jewish] nations" – the word came to colloquially refer to non-Jews.
