It is used to describe the orientation of places, movements of people, and sometimes carries deeper theological implications.<br><br><b>Geographical Orientation:</b><br><br>In the biblical narrative, "eastward" frequently denotes a specific direction. For instance, in <a href="/genesis/2-8.htm">Genesis 2:8</a> , it is written, "And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, where He placed the man He had formed." Here, "eastward" indicates the location of the Garden of Eden, suggesting a place of origin and divine provision.<br><br>The east is also associated with the direction from which significant migrations and movements occur. In <a href="/genesis/11-2.htm">Genesis 11:2</a> , the people journeyed "eastward" to the plain of Shinar, where they attempted to build the Tower of Babel. This movement eastward is often interpreted as a symbol of humanity's attempt to reach God through their own means, leading to divine intervention and the scattering of peoples.<br><br><b>Symbolic and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The east holds symbolic meaning in biblical theology. It is often seen as a place of beginnings and new opportunities. The rising sun in the east is a metaphor for hope, renewal, and divine light. In <a href="/ezekiel/43-2.htm">Ezekiel 43:2</a> , the glory of the God of Israel comes from the east, "and His voice was like the roar of many waters, and the earth shone with His glory." This passage highlights the east as a source of divine revelation and presence.<br><br>Conversely, moving eastward can also symbolize separation from God. After Cain killed Abel, he went "east of Eden" (<a href="/genesis/4-16.htm">Genesis 4:16</a>), indicating a departure from God's presence and favor. This movement away from the divine presence underscores the consequences of sin and disobedience.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Context:</b><br><br>In the ancient Near Eastern context, the east was often associated with powerful empires and civilizations. The Assyrians and Babylonians, who played significant roles in Israel's history, were located to the east of Israel. This geographical reality influenced the biblical writers' perception of the east as a place of both threat and divine judgment.<br><br><b>Worship and Temple Orientation:</b><br><br>The orientation of worship spaces in the Bible also reflects the significance of the east. The entrance to the Tabernacle and later the Temple faced eastward, symbolizing the anticipation of God's glory and the coming of the Messiah. In Ezekiel's vision of the new temple, the gate facing east is particularly significant, as it is through this gate that the glory of the Lord returns to the temple (<a href="/ezekiel/43-4.htm">Ezekiel 43:4</a>).<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>The concept of "eastward" in the Bible is rich with meaning, encompassing geographical, symbolic, and theological dimensions. It serves as a reminder of God's creative power, the hope of divine revelation, and the consequences of human actions. Whether as a direction of blessing or a symbol of separation, "eastward" remains a significant motif throughout the biblical narrative.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>adv.</I>) Alt. of Eastwards.<a name="heb" id="heb"></a><div class="vheading2">Strong's Hebrew</div><a href="/hebrew/6924b.htm"><span class="l">6924b. qedem -- <b>eastward</b>, toward the east</span></a><br><b>...</b> 6924a, 6924b. qedem. 6925 . <b>eastward</b>, toward the east.
