Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1484 (ἔθνος, ethnos) - often translated as "nation" or "Gentiles" in the New Testament.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ummah" is used to denote a group of people or a nation. It often refers to a collective body of individuals bound together by common ancestry, language, culture, or territory. In the biblical context, it is used to describe various nations or peoples, often in relation to Israel.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, nations were often defined by their shared lineage and cultural practices. The concept of a "nation" was not merely political but also deeply tied to identity and religious practices. The Israelites, as a distinct ummah, were set apart by their covenant with Yahweh, which distinguished them from surrounding nations.
