- נֶגֶב negeb · H5045 · south, southerly, southward
- Hebrew נֶגֶב (negeb, H5045) denotes the geographic direction/region 'south' broadly, while Greek λίψ (líps, G3047) specifies the south-west wind meteorologically (and by extension the south quarter); the LXX alignment reflects standard geographic directional equivalence where the Greek term's extended sense overlaps the Hebrew's primary spatial meaning.
