EXPLANATION

Verse 9. Parts. The south, (Calmet. 9:9) whence storms commonly came in that country, ( Calmet.) from the sea or desert of Idumea. Bible. Psalms 77:26. Zechariah 9:14. Isaiah 21:1.—North wind or pole. Worthington.—Yet the south seems to be designated; (verse 17 and Calmet. 38:32) though cold comes from the north, in Idumea as well as here. Calmet.—Mezarim, is rendered by Prot. “north.” Marg. “scattering winds.” Septuagint ακρωψηριων, “summits” of mountains.
