It is used to describe geographical locations, such as the "eastern" lands or peoples who reside in the east.

In some instances, קַדְמוֹן is used metaphorically to refer to ancient times or things that are old, emphasizing the concept of something that has been established from the earliest times.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated as "eastern" in passages that describe the orientation or location of certain regions or peoples. For example, in Genesis 25:6, it refers to the "land of the east" where Abraham sent his sons by his concubines.
