Dear List,

I stand corrected. I should have written the wind is blowing from the east.

A wind coming from the west is noted as a RUACH YAM (sea wind). (Ex. 10:19)

According to the NIDOTTE, QADIM can also be used of the "east wind." I believe the accepted understanding would be the wind is blowing to the east.


So not the east wind at all, but the west wind? After all, in English the west wind blows from the west to the east. Is that really what you mean? If so most translations and NIDOTTE are 180 degrees wrong.
