"For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion."
Zephaniah 2:14
"And flocks shall lie down in the midst of her, all the beasts of the nations: both the cormorant and the bittern shall lodge in the upper lintels of it; their voice shall sing in the windows; desolation shall be in the thresholds: for he shall uncover the cedar work."
They are quite literally referring to animals in these passages, you absolute idiot. Joel refers to the invasion of locusts and Zephaniah refers to birds and woodland animals. Because the word "goyim" means "nation," they are implying that the numbers of animals are so great that they practically constitute a "nation."
So you admit the Torah uses goyim to refer to locusts and easily herded beasts.
The argument you’re trying to make is absurd. I’m sure they had words that didn’t mean “those goys over who hate us” to talk about animals, and to imply otherwise is disingenuous pilpul but to must admit I’ve come to expect nothing greater from you.
lol, you fucking idiot. The books of the Hebrew bible refer to Jews as "goy" as well. God calls the Jews "goy kadosh," which means "holy nation."
For the 100th time, "goy" simply means "nation." That's the definition. When used in the context of what you quoted, it's referring to the vast number of locusts and animals that were invading. It's not a reference to gentiles. Can you read?
This is why arguing with people of your intelligence level is such a waste of time. I can put definitive proof of something in front of your face and you refuse to accept it because it dismantles the prejudice you hold so dear. Absolutely pathetic and so intellectually dishonest.
Imagine if in Latin, jew meant “member of the tribe” and simultaneously meant, as an official definition, “covetous snake” or “swarm of locusts”, you would rightly call out the inherent bigotry of the ideology that produced that contflated definition.
You would apply that logic and treatment to any language and ideology that produced such a conflation. Any EXCEPT your own. Scum.

They aren't referring to gentiles as animals.
