Genesis 28:14

וְ הָיָה זַרְעֲךָ כַּ עֲפַר הָ אָרֶץ וּ פָרַצְתָּ יָמָּה וָ קֵדְמָה וְ צָפֹנָה וָ נֶגְבָּה וְ נִבְרֲכוּ בְךָ כָּל מִשְׁפְּחֹת הָ אֲדָמָה וּ בְ זַרְעֶךָ
And your seed has become as the dust of the Earth, and you have broken out935 sea-ward, and front-ward [eastward], and hidden-ward, and Dry-South-ward,936 and in-yourself the whole of the families of the Red-one have been kneeled and in your seed.
