The arid landform known as the Negev, a semi-desert region located in the southern part of the historical territory of Israel and Judah; more generally, 'the south' as a cardinal direction or region. The word can refer both to the specific geographic region (Negev) and, in some contexts, generically to 'the south' or 'southern region,' especially in reference to territory south of Jerusalem or the central highlands. It may also indicate directionality (the South), particularly when describing locations or travel.
