R. Paul quotes form the Intermediate Liddell-Scott:
"so the Hebrews called the rest of mankind Gentiles."
Mm. Should like to see the Hebrew for that. "Gentiles" sounds to me pretty
much a "Latinate" Expression. Being no Hebrew, It would be hard for me to test
the 'value-orientedness' we are discussing with R. Paul.
So I would axe any Hebrew on the list whether she perceives (or he
perceives) any 'derogation' behind 'Gentile'.
Cheers,
JL
