Wind

 
(blow). Hebrews recognized the cardinal winds in their “four winds,” north, south, east, west (Ezek. 37:9; Dan. 8:8; Zech. 2:6; Matt. 24:31). The east wind injured vegetation (Gen. 41:6; Job 1:19; Isa. 27:8). The south wind brought heat (Luke 12:55). The southwest and north winds brought clear cool weather (Job 37:9,22; Prov. 25:23). The west wind, coming from the Mediterranean, brought rain.
