'Nations of the Earth' in the Bible

Abraham is to become a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed through him.

And all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring because you have obeyed My command.”

I will make your offspring as numerous as the stars of the sky, I will give your offspring all these lands, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed by your offspring,

“Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth.

I will make this temple like Shiloh. I will make this city an object of cursing for all the nations of the earth.”

This city will bear on My behalf a name of joy, praise, and glory before all the nations of the earth, who will hear of all the good I will do for them. They will tremble with awe because of all the good and all the peace I will bring about for them.

On that day I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who try to lift it will injure themselves severely when all the nations of the earth gather against her.
