Tidal (Bible)

Tidal (Bible)

Tidal king of Goyim is a monarch mentioned in Genesis 14:1. The word "goyim" in Biblical Hebrew can be translated as "nations" or "peoples" or "ethnic groups" (in modern Hebrew it means "Gentiles") although Bible commentaries suggest that that in this verse it may instead be a reference to the region of Gutium. The name Tidal is considered equivalent to Tudhaliya, the name both of of a Proto-Hittite king and a Hittite king. The name continued as "Tudal" down to the Neo-Hittite period.
