Berean Strong's Lexicon allogenés: Foreign, of another race, stranger Original Word: ἀλλογενής Word Origin: Derived from ἄλλος (allos, meaning "other") and γένος (genos, meaning "race" or "kind") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is נָכְרִי (nokri, Strong's H5237), which also means foreigner or stranger. Usage: The term "allogenés" is used to describe someone who is of a different race or nationality, essentially a foreigner or stranger. In the context of the New Testament, it often refers to those who are not of Jewish descent, highlighting the distinction between Jews and Gentiles. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Jewish context, the distinction between Jews and Gentiles was significant. Jews were considered God's chosen people, and the Law of Moses set them apart from other nations. The term "allogenés" would have been used to describe those outside of this covenant community. This distinction was both religious and cultural, affecting social interactions, worship practices, and legal matters.
