The term locates people, objects, and boundaries with reference to the east. In Genesis 13:14 the APB renders Abram's commanded survey as looking “eastward,” while Numbers 35:5 renders a measured side of the city as “on the east side.” In Joshua 19:12 the border turns “eastward,” and Ezekiel 8:16 describes men with their faces toward the east and bowing toward the east.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses the APB presents the spatial reference with phrases such as “eastward,” “east side,” “eastern border,” and “toward the east.” These are verse-level renderings rather than definitions for each occurrence.
