Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Several words are used to express the East, which imply “going forth,” “rising,” “that which is before,” having reference to the
sun
and its rising. Nearly all the references in
scripture
to the East or to other quarters are of course reckoned from
Palestine
; so that “
children
of the East,” “men of the East,” point out
Assyria
,
Babylon
, etc.
