Goy is the Hebrew word for a nation as a people group. In the singular it can describe any nation, including Israel; in the plural it often means the Gentile nations — outside the covenant but never outside God’s reach.

The promise to Abraham was that in him “all the families of the earth (kol goyim)” would be blessed. The story of the Bible is God keeping that promise, all the way to the gospel going out to every goy.
