This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term קָדִים, its usage in the biblical text, and its cultural and theological implications.

Usage: The word קָדִים appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often describing the east wind, which is typically associated with dryness, heat, and sometimes destruction. It is also used to indicate the eastern direction or region.

Context: • Geographical and Meteorological Significance: In the Hebrew Bible, קָדִים is frequently associated with the east wind, a significant meteorological phenomenon in the ancient Near East. This wind is often depicted as hot and dry, capable of withering plants and bringing about desolation. For instance, in Genesis 41:6, the east wind is described as scorching the grain.
• Symbolic and Theological Implications: The east wind, or קָדִים, is sometimes used symbolically to represent divine intervention or judgment. In Exodus 10:13, the Lord uses the east wind to bring the plague of locusts upon Egypt. Similarly, in Jonah 4:8, God appoints a scorching east wind to discomfort Jonah.
• Directional Reference: קָדִים is also employed to denote the eastern direction or region. This usage is evident in passages like Ezekiel 11:1, where the prophet is taken to the east gate of the Lord's house.
• Cultural Context: In the ancient Near Eastern worldview, the east held particular significance as the direction of the rising sun, often associated with beginnings and new life. However, the harshness of the east wind tempered this positive connotation with an awareness of potential adversity.
