  From  Easton's  1897  Bible  Dictionary  [easton]: 
 
  South 
  Heb.  Negeb  that  arid  district  to  the  south  of  Palestine  through 
  which  lay  the  caravan  route  from  Central  Palestine  to  Egypt 
  (Gen.  12:9;  13:1,  3;  46:1-6).  "The  Negeb  comprised  a 
  considerable  but  irregularly-shaped  tract  of  country,  its  main 
  portion  stretching  from  the  mountains  and  lowlands  of  Judah  in 
  the  north  to  the  mountains  of  Azazemeh  in  the  south,  and  from 
  the  Dead  Sea  and  southern  Ghoron  the  east  to  the  Mediterranean 
  on  the  west."  In  Ezek.  20:46  (21:1  in  Heb.)  three  different 
  Hebrew  words  are  all  rendered  "south."  (1)  "Set  thy  face  toward 
  the  south"  (Teman,  the  region  on  the  right  1  Sam.  33:24);  (2) 
  "Drop  thy  word  toward  the  south"  (Negeb,  the  region  of  dryness, 
  Josh.  15:4);  (3)  "Prophesy  against  the  forest  of  the  south 
  field"  (Darom,  the  region  of  brightness,  Deut.  33:23).  In  Job 
  37:9  the  word  south"  is  literally  "chamber,"  used  here  in  the 
  sense  of  treasury  (comp.  38:22;  Ps  135:7).  This  verse  is 
  rendered  in  the  Revised  Version  "out  of  the  chamber  of  the 
  south."
