What is Wind?
WIND
The east wind was, in Palestine, injurious to vegetation. Its general character may be inferred from Gen 41:6; Job 1:19; Ps 11:6; Isa 27:8; Jer 4:11-13; Eze 17:10; Eze 19:12; Eze 27:26; Hos 13:15. The south wind brought heat, Luke 12:55, coming from Arabia; the simoom, however, did not reach Palestine. The south-west and the north gave fair weather. Job 37:9, Josh 11:22; Prov 25:23. The west wind, coming from the Mediterranean, gave rain.
