Strong's Lexicon nokri: Foreign, alien, stranger Original Word: נָכְרִי Word Origin: Derived from the root נָכַר (nakar), which means "to recognize" or "to regard as foreign." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G245 (allotrios): Meaning "belonging to another," often used to describe something foreign or strange. - G3581 (xenos): Meaning "stranger" or "foreigner," used in the New Testament to describe those who are not part of the community. Usage: The term "nokri" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something or someone that is foreign or alien. It often refers to people who are not Israelites, highlighting their status as outsiders or those who do not belong to the covenant community of Israel. The term can also be used to describe foreign gods or practices that are not in alignment with the worship of Yahweh. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of being "foreign" or "alien" was significant due to the covenant relationship between God and the Israelites. The Israelites were called to be a distinct people, set apart from the surrounding nations. This distinction was not only religious but also cultural and social. Foreigners, or "nokri," were often seen as those who could potentially lead the Israelites away from their covenant obligations, especially through the introduction of foreign gods and practices.
