Although the south often signifies negativity, it can also refer to something positive because it is represented by the right hand. To the South of Israel was the wilderness and Egypt where God's people were in captivity for several years. However, to the south was also where God met Moses and led him to set His people from their bondage.

The south had both a negative and a positive symbolism in the Bible. To the south of Israel were wilderness and a region where life did not prosper. The positive however was that it symbolizes the right hand, being the "stronger" help of God. The south wind in the Bible was seen as welcoming and it could be hot but also gentle.
