It is used both literally and metaphorically to describe weather conditions and their effects. The south wind was known for bringing heat and sometimes rain, influencing agricultural and daily life in the Mediterranean region.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Mediterranean world, winds were significant for navigation, agriculture, and daily life. The south wind, or "notos," was particularly important as it could bring both beneficial rains and oppressive heat. Mariners and farmers alike paid close attention to the winds, as they could dictate the success of voyages and crops. The south wind was one of the four principal winds in classical antiquity, each associated with a cardinal direction.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the south wind, hence the southern quarter<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>south (4), south wind (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3558: νότος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">νότος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">νότου</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">the south wind</span>; <p><span class="emphasized">a.</span> properly: <a href="/interlinear/luke/12-55.htm">Luke 12:55</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/27-13.htm">Acts 27:13</a>; <a href="/interlinear/acts/28-13.htm">Acts 28:13</a>. <p><span class="emphasized">b.</span> <span class="accented">the South</span> (cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">βορρᾶς</span></span>): <a href="/interlinear/matthew/12-42.htm">Matthew 12:42</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/11-31.htm">Luke 11:31</a>; <a href="/interlinear/luke/13-29.htm">Luke 13:29</a>; <a href="/interlinear/revelation/21-13.htm">Revelation 21:13</a>.
