Genesis 28:14

14 And your offspring will be like the dust of the earth. You will spread abroad to the West, and to the East, and to the North, and to the Meridian. And in you and in your offspring, all the tribes of the earth shall be blessed. ^{▼▼28:14Or, ‘you will spread to the Setting, and the Rising, and the Seven Oxen (or the Seven Stars), and the Meridian.’ The word ‘septentrionem’ literally means ‘seven plough-oxen,’ but is an expression used to refer to a constellation of seven stars. The Meridian is the South, or rather, from a modern point of view, south of Mesopotamia, i.e. towards the equator.(Conte)}
