Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1484 (ἔθνος, ethnos) - Often translated as "nation" or "Gentiles" in the New Testament, reflecting a similar concept of distinct ethnic or national groups.

Usage: The term "Leummim" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to groups of people or nations, often in a collective sense. It emphasizes the idea of distinct ethnic or national groups, sometimes in contrast to the chosen people of Israel. The word is used to denote the diversity of nations and their interactions with Israel and God's plans.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, nations were often defined by their ethnic, linguistic, and cultural identities.
