In the ancient Hebrew context, directions were often described in relation to the position of the sun, with "maarab" indicating the place where the sun sets. This term is used to denote the western direction or the concept of evening.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, directions were often described in relation to natural phenomena, such as the rising and setting of the sun. The west, or "maarab," was significant not only as a cardinal direction but also as a time marker for the end of the day. The setting sun symbolized the transition from day to night, a time for rest and reflection. The west was also associated with the Mediterranean Sea, which lay to the west of Israel, influencing trade and cultural exchanges.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6148.htm">arab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>articles of exchange, merchandise<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>merchandise (9).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I.
