But to continue with my narrative, then this woman made the
foolish mistake of trying to validate her misguided ideas by
telling me that space aliens are even mentioned in the Bible.
Her exact words were "The word 'alien' is mentioned 26 times
in the Bible".

To a certain degree, this woman is actually right. The word
"alien" is in fact found in the KJV Bible. However, as I also
explained to her in a return email, the word is not referring
to alien beings from Outer Space. In her mind, she had become
convinced that "alien" was referring to the so-called "Greys"
from Zeta Reticuli, or perhaps to the fair-skinned alien race
known as the "Nordics", or possibly the benign "Pleiadians",
or maybe even to the sinister "Reptilians", a.k.a., "Dracos".

Undoubtedly, what I just said will seem quite strange to some
of you. You need understand that within UFOlogy, there are a
lot of die-hard believers who take it so seriously, that they
have even classified "aliens" according to race, appearance,
home star system, etc. I will be discussing the latter group,
that is, the so-called "Reptilians", later on in this series.

So allow me to set the record straight, just in case some of
you reading this have also fallen for this deception. In the
Bible, the word "alien" is used to refer to people who were
of non-Hebrew stock, either within or without Israel. This
word "alien" also means stranger, or one who feels alienated
from his or her own people. In the Old Testament, the words
"alien" and "stranger" are derived from several different
Hebrew words. Following are extracts taken from my Hebrew
lexicon:

----- Begin Quote -----

ger or geyr (gare)

KJV - stranger 87, alien 1, sojourner 1, stranger + 0376 1,
stranger + 04480 1, strangers + 0582 1; 92

1) sojourner
  1a) a temporary inhabitant, a newcomer lacking inherited rights
  1b) of foreigners in Israel, though conceded rights

----- End Quote -----

The Hebrew word "ger", which is also transliterated as
"geyr" is further derived from the following root:

----- Begin Quote -----

guwr (goor)

KJV - sojourn 58, dwell 12, afraid 6, stranger 6, gather
together 4, fear 3, abide 2, assemble 1, stand in awe 1,
gathered 1, inhabitant 1, remain 1, sojourners 1, surely 1;
98

1) to sojourn, abide, dwell in, dwell with, remain, inhabit,
   be a stranger, be continuing, surely
    1a) (Qal)
       1a1) to sojourn, dwell for a time
       1a2) to abide, stay, temporarily dwell

----- End Quote -----

In some places, the word "alien" is also derived from the
Hebrew words "nokriy" and "nekar". Following are their
definitions as found in the Hebrew lexicon:

----- Begin Quote -----

nokriy (nok-ree')

KJV - stranger 18, strange 17, alien 4, strange woman 3,
foreigner 2, outlandish 1, stranger + 0376 1; 45

1) foreign, alien
   1a) foreign
   1b) foreigner (subst)
   1c) foreign woman, harlot
   1d) unknown, unfamiliar (fig.)

nekar (nay-kawr')

KJV - strange 17, stranger + 01121 10, stranger 7, alien 1; 35

1) foreign, alien, foreignness, that which is foreign
   1a) foreignness, foreign gods
   1b) alien, foreigner
   1c) foreign (vanities)

----- End Quote -----

The final Hebrew word which is translated as "stranger", or
"alien", in the Old Testament of the Authorized King James
Bible, is "zuwr". Consider again what the Hebrew lexicon has
to say regarding this word:

----- Begin Quote -----

zuwr (zoor)

KJV - stranger 45, strange 18, estranged 4, stranger + 0376
3, another 2, strange woman 2, gone away 1, fanners 1,
another place 1; 77

1) to be strange, be a stranger
   1a) (Qal)
       1a1) to become estranged
       1a2) strange, another, stranger, foreigner, an enemy (participle)
       1a3) loathsome (of breath) (participle)
       1a4) strange woman, prostitute, harlot (meton)
   1b) (Niphal) to be estranged
   1c) (Hophal) to be a stranger, be one alienated

Having now examined the meanings of the actual Hebrew words
used in the Old Testament, allow me to also inform you that,
contrary to this woman's assertion, the word "alien" is only
used five times in the Authorized King James Version of the
Bible, and not twenty-six times; and it means exactly what
the above definitions say it means. But, to be fair to this
woman, allow me to also point out that in other places where
these various Hebrew words are used, they are translated as
"stranger", and not as "alien". However, as we've now seen,
they are in fact synonymous terms. Following are the five
verses where they're translated as "alien" in the KJV Bible.
It will become clear to you that they mean a stranger, or a
foreigner, or one who feels alienated; that is, estranged,
ostracized, or out of place:
