VI. ערב (√ of following; compare Arabic Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), which means "to set" or "to enter," often used in the context of the sun setting.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for "west" in the New Testament is δύσις (dysis), which is Strong's Greek Number G3047. This term similarly refers to the setting of the sun and the western direction, maintaining the thematic connection between the Hebrew and Greek scriptures regarding cardinal directions and their symbolic meanings. Usage: The word מַעֲרָב is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the western direction or regions. It is often mentioned in the context of geographical orientation, particularly in relation to the cardinal points of the compass. Context: מַעֲרָב (ma'arav) is a noun masculine used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the west, both as a direction and as a region. The term is frequently employed in descriptions of the land of Israel and its surrounding territories, often in conjunction with other cardinal directions to delineate boundaries or describe the extent of a particular area. For example, in the division of the land among the tribes of Israel, מַעֲרָב is used to specify the western borders (e.g., Joshua 15:12). The west, being the direction of the setting sun, holds symbolic significance in biblical literature, often associated with the end of the day and the completion of a cycle. In some contexts, מַעֲרָב may also carry connotations of darkness or obscurity, as the sun's setting brings about the night.
