Slavonic язычьникъ, which corresponds to языци in the sense of "the nations", is a calque from Greek ἐθνικός, corresponding to τὰ ἔθνη in the same sense, in exactly the same way as Latin "gentilis" (>English "gentile") corresponds to Latin gentes.  I don't know Hebrew, but anyone who does will be able to tell us the origin of all this in Biblical translation.
