Sorry Harrak, insult bounces off. Nations ok--and where's Jizya again?

See Harrak, "nations" as all nations other than Jews IS non-Jews. No points for blowing smoke. We will now look at a HEBREW dictionary for a Hebrew word:

ywg apparently from the same root as (01465--Strong's Number of Hebrew words)
Gowy TWOT - 326e
Phonetic Spelling: go'-ee

Definition
noun (masculine)
nation, people
usually of non-Hebrew people
...
Goyim? = "nations"

King James (not a modern Bible translation) Word Usage - Total: 558
nation 374, heathen 143, Gentiles 30, people 11

Now, where is this Hebrew jizya? (Dancer fans the smoke with her hands) Did Dick Cheney take the jizya, too?

Be very careful before you make a false accusation--that is a sin to the Living Almighty. Just a fair warning, Harrak. (I research words for a living. And I speak several languages rather well.)

That knocks down 2 strawmen. Now again--where is this Hebrew jizya? What people abuses their guests by charging fees, again?
