# Gentile
A Gentile is a person who is not an Israelite. That is, a Gentile is anyone who is not a descendant of Jacob. The word "uncircumcised" is also used to talk about Gentiles. This is because the Israelites circumcised their male children, but most of the Gentiles did not circumcise their male children.

Jesus made Paul his preacher to the Gentiles (see: Acts 9:15). Paul divided the Gentiles into “Greeks” and “foreigners” (see: Romans 1:14). The “Greeks” were anyone who spoke the Greek language.
