Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "nótos," the concept of directional winds is present in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew word "תֵּימָן" (teiman) can refer to the south or south wind (Strong's Hebrew 8486).

Usage: In the New Testament, "nótos" primarily refers to the south or the south wind. It is used to describe a direction or a wind coming from the south. The term is often associated with weather patterns and geographical orientation.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Mediterranean world, winds played a crucial role in navigation and agriculture. The south wind, or "nótos," was known for bringing warm and sometimes stormy weather. In biblical times, understanding wind directions was essential for travel, especially for those living in coastal regions or engaged in seafaring. The south wind was also significant in agricultural contexts, as it could affect crop growth and harvests.
