Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָמִין (yamin), meaning "right hand" or "south."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2281 (θάλασσα, thalassa): While not directly related to the concept of "south," this term refers to the "sea," which can be associated with geographical directions in biblical texts.
G3047 (Λιβύη, Libyē): Refers to Libya, a region in North Africa, which is south of the Mediterranean Sea.
G3558 (νότος, notos): This Greek term directly corresponds to the concept of "south" or "south wind," similar to the Hebrew תֵּימָן. It is used in the New Testament to describe the southern direction or wind, as seen in Luke 12:55, "And when the south wind blows, you say, 'It will be hot,' and it happens."

Usage: The word תֵּימָן is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both a geographical direction and a specific region. It appears in various contexts, often indicating the southern direction or referring to the land of Teman, known for its wise men.

Context: תֵּימָן (Teyman) is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the south or a southern region. It is frequently mentioned in the context of geographical orientation, as in Ezekiel 20:46, "Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south and prophesy against the forest of the Negev." In this passage, תֵּימָן is used to indicate the southern direction.

Additionally, תֵּימָן is identified as a region in Edom, associated with the descendants of Teman, a grandson of Esau. This area was known for its wisdom, as highlighted in Jeremiah 49:7, "Concerning Edom, this is what the LORD of Hosts says: 'Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Has counsel perished from the prudent? Has their wisdom decayed?'" The region of Teman is often mentioned alongside other Edomite territories, emphasizing its significance in the ancient Near East.

The term is also used metaphorically to describe God's powerful presence coming from the south, as seen in Habakkuk 3:3, "God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, and His praise filled the earth."
