1. mezarim, literally “the scattering”: regarding the north wind as scattering the clouds and bringing severe cold. Elihu said the cold came out of the north. The word occurs only in Job 37:99Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. (Job 37:9).
2. tsaphon, “hidden, dark.” The ancients regarded the north as the region of gloom and darkness. This is the word commonly translated “north” in the Old Testament (Job 37:99Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. (Job 37:9), and elsewhere).
