'Direction' in the Bible

Their country stretching from Zidon to Gaza, in the direction of Gerar; and to Lasha, in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and Admah and Zeboiim.

And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.

And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.

And looking in the direction of Sodom and Gomorrah and the lowland, he saw the smoke of the land going up like the smoke of an oven.

So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
