'North' in the Bible

And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and they will sit down [and feast at the table] in the kingdom of God.

After hoisting the skiff [on board], they used support lines [for frapping] to undergird and brace the ship’s hull; and fearing that they might run aground on the shallows of Syrtis [off the north coast of Africa], they let down the sea anchor and lowered the sails and were driven along [backwards with the bow into the wind].

On the east side [there were] three gates, on the north three gates, on the south three gates, and on the west three gates.
