'Nations' in the Bible

Do not make yourself unclean in any of these ways; for so have those nations whom I am driving out from before you made themselves unclean:

So that the land may not put you out from it, when you make it unclean, as it put out the nations which were there before you.

And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

And death will overtake you among strange nations, and the land of your haters will be your destruction.

And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.
