From: Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary

 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."
