The Latin word GENTILIS in 1927 Junior Classic Dictionaries

Here we have several images from the Junior Classic Latin Dictionary. In his later papers, after he had found this definition, Clifton Emahiser cited this lexicon in relation to the meaning of the Latin word gentilis, which is "of the same clan or race", and how that true meaning of the word may affect one's view of Scripture, since with that meaning the truth of the nature of the covenants of God is revealed.

The word gentilis is the Latin word that Jerome had employed to represent the Greek word ἔθνος, or nation, in his Latin Vulgate, and that is the underlying word where the King James Version has gentile or gentiles in the New Testament. Jerome may have used any one of several other more general Latin words which may mean nation, but he purposely selected this more specific term. 
 

The word gentilis never meant "non-Jew" to any Roman!
