[AF] Hebrew?

[Sid Schweiger]

>>That may be what it means today Sid, However in Genesis 12:2
 (The very first usage)  It just meant Non-Jew!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goy <<

In that same article, under the header "Modern usage," it says:

In English however, the use of the word goy can be controversial. Like
other common (and otherwise innocent) terms, it may be assigned
pejoratively to non-Jews (as well as to Jews who are perceived by other
Jews to lack religious commitment to Judaism). To avoid any perceived
offensive connotations, writers may use the English terms "Gentile" or
"non-Jew."
