Negev
into the south
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.

in the arid southland
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ב + definite article + masculine singular absolute noun. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun נֶגֶב derives from the root meaning "to be dry/parched" and denotes the arid southern region. The prefixed preposition בַּ (“in the”) with the definite article is reflected by "in the," and the masculine singular absolute noun is rendered as a concrete regional term preserving its dryness-based identity. |
