זוּר

נׇכְרִי nokrîy · H5237 · foreign, strange, wild

Both refer to foreigners or strangers, marking social-outsider status; both are also attested in contexts involving foreign women and prostitution, indicating a genuine overlap beyond a merely broad or generic category.

ἀλλότριος allótrios · G245 · belonging to another, belonging to someone else, stranger

Hebrew זוּר (zûwr, H2114) and Greek ἀλλότριος (allótrios, G245) both denote foreignness, strangeness, or belonging to another, with זוּר (zûwr, H2114) emphasizing the agent or object that is foreign/strange (often as a verb 'to be a stranger' or adjective 'strange/foreign'), while ἀλλότριος (allótrios, G245) emphasizes the possessive/relational aspect ('belonging to another, not one's own'), making them direct cross-linguistic translation equivalents for the semantic field of otherness and alienation.

ἀλλογενής allogenḗs · G241 · foreigner

ἀλλογενής (allogenḗs, G241) renders זוּר (zûwr, H2114) with semantic narrowing to ethnic foreignness (specifically non-Jewish identity in LXX/NT contexts), whereas זוּר (zûwr, H2114)'s broader Hebrew range includes spatial foreignness, ritual estrangement, and illicit social relationships beyond ethnicity alone.

ἀπαλλοτριόω apallotrióō · G526 · to be a stranger, to be a foreigner

זוּר (zûwr, H2114) denotes broad estrangement/foreignness (persons, things, places), while ἀπαλλοτριόω (apallotrióō, G526) specifically denotes alienation or being made a non-participant from a relationship or community (typically theological contexts in LXX/NT).
