Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3047: Λίψ (Lips) • Refers to the southwest wind. • G3558: Νότος (Notos) • Refers to the south or the south wind, similar in usage to "darom" in Hebrew, often indicating warmth or a specific direction. The term "darom" is integral to understanding the geographical and metaphorical language of the Hebrew Bible, providing insight into the ancient Israelites' perception of direction, climate, and divine intervention. Usage: The word "darom" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often indicating the southern direction or the south wind. It is used both in literal geographical contexts and in poetic or metaphorical language. Context: • The term "darom" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the southern direction, often in contrast to other cardinal directions. It is associated with warmth and brightness, likely due to the sun's position in the southern sky in the Northern Hemisphere. • In Job 37:17, "darom" is used to describe the warm south wind: "You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind?" • In Ezekiel 20:46, the term is used in a prophetic context: "Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest of the Negev." • The use of "darom" in poetic literature often evokes imagery of warmth, light, and sometimes judgment, as the south wind can bring both life-giving warmth and destructive heat. • The term is also used in Psalm 78:26, where it is mentioned in the context of God's provision: "He stirred the east wind from the heavens and drove the south wind by His might."
