Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
South - literally, chamber; connected with the south х cheder (H2315)] (cf. note, Job 9:9). The whirlwinds are poetically regarded as pent up by God in His south chambers, whence He sends them forth (so Job 38:22; Psalms 135:7, "He bringeth the wind out of His treasuries"). As to the south whirlwinds, see Isaiah 21:1; Zechariah 9:14: they drive before them burning sands; chiefly from February to May.
The north, х mimzaariym (H4215)] - literally, scatterings, the scattering north winds; the north winds scatter the clouds.
