oops, missed the most important one:
"And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them", Leviticus 20:23.
Lots of translators bent over backwards to avoid the "r" word, but the ONLY thing that makes sense in the translation of "goy" is RACE:
Lev 20:23
(ASV) And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation [read: race], which I cast out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(BBE) And do not keep the rules of the nations [read: races] which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.
(CEV) The nations [read: races] I am chasing out did these disgusting things, and I hated them for it, so don't follow their example.
(Darby) And ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation [read: race] which I am casting out before you; for all these things have they done, and they became an abomination to me.
(DRB) Walk not after the laws of the nations [read: races], which I will cast out before you. For they have done all these things: and therefore I abhorred them.
(GNB) Do not adopt the customs of the people [read: races] who live there; I am driving out those pagans so that you can enter the land. They have disgusted me with all their evil practices.
(GW) Never follow the practices of the people [read: races] I am forcing out of your way. I cannot stand them because they did all these things.
(KJV) And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation [read: race], which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(KJV+) And ye shall not3808 walk1980 in the manners2708 of the nation,1471 which834 I589 cast out7971 before4480, 6440 you: for3588 they committed6213 (853) all3605 these things,428 and therefore I abhorred6973 them.
(KJVA) And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation [read: race], which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(RSV) And you shall not walk in the customs of the nation [read: race] which I am casting out before you; for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(WEB) You shall not walk in the customs of the nation [read: race], which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(Webster) And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nations [read: races] which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.
(YLT) and ye walk not in the statutes of the nation [read: race] which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with them;
