te.man denotes the southern direction or side, marking locations, boundaries, camp placement, and the course of winds.

The term consistently identifies the southern quarter in spatial descriptions: a side of the tabernacle or camp, a direction of travel or sight, a territorial boundary, and the direction associated with winds or celestial regions.

   The feminine singular absolute form marks a spatial orientation in varied settings. In Exodus 26:18 the APB renders the clause about twenty boards “for the south side,” while Numbers 2:10 places Reuben's camp “on the south”; Joshua 15:1 and Ezekiel 47:19 use the same directional reference in describing territorial limits. Job 39:26 and Song of Songs 4:16 place the direction with a bird's flight and a wind.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term through directional expressions such as “south side,” “southward,” and “southern side,” and in wind contexts as “south wind.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these phrases indicate the clause's spatial sense rather than a fixed rendering in every occurrence.
