From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Heathen
      (Heb. plural goyum). At first the word _goyim_ denoted generally
      all the nations of the world (Gen. 18:18; comp. Gal. 3:8). The
      Jews afterwards became a people distinguished in a marked manner
      from the other _goyim_. They were a separate people (Lev. 20:23;
      26:14-45; Deut. 28), and the other nations, the Amorites,
      Hittites, etc., were the _goyim_, the heathen, with whom the
      Jews were forbidden to be associated in any way (Josh. 23:7; 1
      Kings 11:2). The practice of idolatry was the characteristic of
      these nations, and hence the word came to designate idolaters
      (Ps. 106:47; Jer. 46:28; Lam. 1:3; Isa. 36:18), the wicked (Ps.
      9:5, 15, 17).
     
         The corresponding Greek word in the New Testament, _ethne_,
      has similar shades of meaning. In Acts 22:21, Gal. 3:14, it
      denotes the people of the earth generally; and in Matt. 6:7, an
      idolater. In modern usage the word denotes all nations that are
      strangers to revealed religion.
