It often describes the orientation of geographical locations, movements, or the positioning of objects and people. The east holds significant symbolic meaning in biblical texts, often associated with beginnings, origins, and sometimes exile or judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the east was considered the direction of the rising sun, symbolizing new beginnings and life. The Hebrew people, like many ancient cultures, oriented themselves geographically with the east as a primary reference point. This orientation influenced their understanding of space and time, with the east often representing the past or origins, as well as the direction from which divine intervention or judgment might come.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6924.htm">qedem</a><br><span
