this word is very often used in the bible, but we don't have in our dictionary. what does it mean? do Palauans use it in common speech?

The Gentiles / Gentile.

Maybe there can be a separate section of purely biblical vocabulary because it is rarely used in everyday speech. The only times I've ever heard is is during church or someone talking about church in school or a meeting about the parish.

Palauan speakers do not often quote biblical verses in conversation and only very rarely during public speeches.
