The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
ab oriente portæ tres, et ab aquilone portæ tres, et ab austro portæ tres, et ab occasu portæ tres.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.
ܡܢ ܡܕܢܚܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܓܪܒܝܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܬܝܡܢܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ ܘܡܢ ܡܥܪܒܐ ܬܪܥܐ ܬܠܬܐ
The Bible of the Syriac-speaking church, in the language nearest to the Aramaic Jesus spoke.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

The Greek word ἀνατολή (i.e., *anatolē*) means a rising, particularly of the sun, and can also refer to the east. It is derived from the verb ἀνατέλλω and is used in various contexts, including metaphorically for dawn. The New Testament uses it to denote both the physical direction of the east and the figurative sense of light or new beginnings.

East
(1.) The orient (mizrah); the rising of the sun. Thus “the east country” is the country lying to the east of Syria, the Elymais (Zech. 8:7).
(2). Properly what is in front of one, or a country that is before or in front of another; the rendering of the word kedem. In pointing out the quarters, a Hebrew always looked with his face toward the east. The word kedem is used when the four quarters of the world are described (Gen. 13:14; 28:14); and mizrah when the east only is distinguished from the west (Josh. 11:3; Ps. 50:1; 103:12, etc.). In Gen. 25:6 “eastward” is literally “unto the land of kedem;” i.e., the lands…
The Hebrew term kedem properly means that which is before or in front of a person, and was applied to the east form the custom of turning in that direction when describing the points of the compass, before, behind, the right and the left representing respectively east, west, south and north. (Job 23:8,9) The term as generally used refers to the lands lying immediately eastward of Palestine, viz., Arabia, Mesopotamia and Babylonia; on the other hand mizrach is used of the far east with a less definite signification. (Isaiah 42:2,25; 43:5; 46:11)
The Hebrews, in speaking of the different quarters of the heaven, always suppose the face to be turned towards the east. Hence "before," or "forwards," means the east; "behind" is the west; the right-hand is south, and the left hand, north. Besides the ordinary meanings of the word east, Jos 4:19; Ps 103:12, the Jews often used it to designate a large region lying northeast and southeast of Palestine, including Syria and Arabia near at hand, and Babylonia, Assyria, Armenia, etc., with the whole region from the Caspian sea to the Arabian gulf, Ge 29:1; Nu 23:7; Jud 6:3; 7:12; 8:10.

The Greek word πυλών (i.e., *pulōn*) refers to a gateway or porch, often associated with the entrance of a house or palace. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to gates of cities and the vestibules of buildings. The term is built from the root related to 'gate' and is noted for its use in both secular and religious architecture.

The Greek word τρεῖς (transliterated as treis) means 'three' and is a primary numeral. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew and Mark. The word has different forms, including τρία and τά, and has been used since ancient times, often associated with symbolic meanings in various cultures.
τρεῖς, of, ai, τρία, τά, three: Mt. xii. 40; Mk. viii. 2; Lk. i. 56; Jn. ii. 19, and often. [From Hom. down.] Tpels TaBepvar, see ταβέρναι.
τρεῖς In its only occurrence in the NT (Heb 41%) τετραχηλισμένα can only mean ‘‘laid open,” ‘‘ exposed,” “open” (Vg aferta; Hesych. πεφανερωμένα), but the origin of the metaphor is very doubtful. Moffatt (7CC Hed ad /.) suggests ‘‘ the practice of exposing an offender's face by pushing his head back,” Souter (Zex. s.v.), with greater probability, prefers “‘the bending back of the head in sacrifice so as to expose theneck,’’ like the Homeric aveptw (ZZ. 1. 459). The verb is found in Teles (ed. Hense) pp. 10%, 509: see also Philo de Cherud. 78 (ed. Cohn) πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπιτρέχουσι καὶ τραχηλίζουσι δεινοῖς ὑποβεβλημένος, and the compd. ἐκτραχηλίζω in 20. Leg.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

The Greek word βορρᾶς refers to the north wind or simply the north. It is derived from the personification of Boreas, the North wind, and is used in the Septuagint for the Hebrew word for 'north.' In the New Testament, it appears in Luke 13:29 and Revelation 21:13.

See EAST. The Babylonians and Assyrians are represented as coming from "the north," because they invaded Israel by a northern route in order to avoid the desert, Jer 1:14 46:6,24 Zep 2:13. "Fair weather," says Job, or golden weather, "cometh out of the north," Job 37:22. This is as true in Syria and Arabia now as it was three thousand years ago. A traveler there remarks, "Our friends, who have been long residents, informed us that we should have fair weather for our start on the morrow, as the wind was from the north."
"... And so we have found it come to pass that the clouds of a golden hue always followed upon a north wind, and indicated a clear day; and as in the times of the Savior, we could always say when it was evening…

The Greek word πυλών (i.e., *pulōn*) refers to a gateway or porch, often associated with the entrance of a house or palace. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to gates of cities and the vestibules of buildings. The term is built from the root related to 'gate' and is noted for its use in both secular and religious architecture.

The Greek word τρεῖς (transliterated as treis) means 'three' and is a primary numeral. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew and Mark. The word has different forms, including τρία and τά, and has been used since ancient times, often associated with symbolic meanings in various cultures.
τρεῖς, of, ai, τρία, τά, three: Mt. xii. 40; Mk. viii. 2; Lk. i. 56; Jn. ii. 19, and often. [From Hom. down.] Tpels TaBepvar, see ταβέρναι.
τρεῖς In its only occurrence in the NT (Heb 41%) τετραχηλισμένα can only mean ‘‘laid open,” ‘‘ exposed,” “open” (Vg aferta; Hesych. πεφανερωμένα), but the origin of the metaphor is very doubtful. Moffatt (7CC Hed ad /.) suggests ‘‘ the practice of exposing an offender's face by pushing his head back,” Souter (Zex. s.v.), with greater probability, prefers “‘the bending back of the head in sacrifice so as to expose theneck,’’ like the Homeric aveptw (ZZ. 1. 459). The verb is found in Teles (ed. Hense) pp. 10%, 509: see also Philo de Cherud. 78 (ed. Cohn) πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπιτρέχουσι καὶ τραχηλίζουσι δεινοῖς ὑποβεβλημένος, and the compd. ἐκτραχηλίζω in 20. Leg.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

On
Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

(1) neghebh, according BDB from [?] naghabh, meaning "to be dry," the word most often used, in the Revised Version (British and American) capitalized (South) in those places where it seems to denote a particular region, i.e. to the South of Judah.
(2) yamin, "right hand," "right." The derived meaning, "south," seems to imply an eastern posture in prayer in which the right hand is toward the South; compare Arabic yamin, "right," and yemen, "Yemen," a region in Southwestern Arabia.

It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to gates of cities and the vestibules of buildings.

The Greek word τρεῖς (transliterated as treis) means 'three' and is a primary numeral. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew and Mark. The word has different forms, including τρία and τά, and has been used since ancient times, often associated with symbolic meanings in various cultures.
τρεῖς, of, ai, τρία, τά, three: Mt. xii. 40; Mk. viii. 2; Lk. i. 56; Jn. ii. 19, and often. [From Hom. down.] Tpels TaBepvar, see ταβέρναι.
τρεῖς In its only occurrence in the NT (Heb 41%) τετραχηλισμένα can only mean ‘‘laid open,” ‘‘ exposed,” “open” (Vg aferta; Hesych. πεφανερωμένα), but the origin of the metaphor is very doubtful. Moffatt (7CC Hed ad /.) suggests ‘‘ the practice of exposing an offender's face by pushing his head back,” Souter (Zex. s.v.), with greater probability, prefers “‘the bending back of the head in sacrifice so as to expose theneck,’’ like the Homeric aveptw (ZZ. 1. 459). The verb is found in Teles (ed. Hense) pp. 10%, 509: see also Philo de Cherud. 78 (ed. Cohn) πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπιτρέχουσι καὶ τραχηλίζουσι δεινοῖς ὑποβεβλημένος, and the compd. ἐκτραχηλίζω in 20. Leg.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word ἀπό (transliterated as apo) is a preposition meaning 'from' or 'away from,' typically used with the genitive case. It covers a wide range of meanings, including separation, origin, and partitive sense, as well as indicating distance in time or place. In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, such as indicating motion from a place or the source of something. The entries do not show significant disagreement.

Light; the sun, (Gen. 41:45, 50), the great seat of sun-worship, called also Bethshemesh (Jer. 43:13) and Aven (Ezek. 30:17), stood on the east bank of the Nile, a few miles north of Memphis, and near Cairo, in the north-east. The Vulgate and the LXX. Versions have “Heliopolis” (“city of the sun”) instead of On in Genesis and of Aven in Ezekiel. The “city of destruction” Isaiah speaks of (19:18, marg. “of Heres;” Heb. ‘Ir-ha-heres, which some MSS. read Ir-ha-heres, i.e., “city of the sun”) may be the name given to On, the prophecy being that the time will come when that city which was known as the “city of the sun-god” shall become the “city of destruction” of the sun-god, i.e., when idolatry shall cease, and the worship…
(abode or city of the sun), a town of lower Egypt, called BETH-SHEMESH in (Jeremiah 43:13) On is better known under its Greek name Heliopolis. It was situated on the east side of the Pelusiac branch of the Nile, just below the point of the Delta, and about twenty miles northeast of Memphis. The chief object of worship at Heliopolis was the sun, whose temple, described by Strabo, is now only represented by the single beautiful obelisk, of red granite so feet 2 inches high above the pedestal which has stood for more than 4000 years, having been erected by Usirtesen, the second king of the twelfth dynasty. Heliopolis was anciently famous for its learning, and Eudoxus and Plato studied under its priests. The first mention of this place in the Bible is in the history of Joseph, to whom we read Pharaoh gave "to wife Asenath the daughter…

δυσμή is a feminine noun meaning the setting of the sun, often used in the plural to refer to the west. It is derived from the verb meaning to set or sink. This term appears in several New Testament verses, including Matthew 8:11 and Luke 12:54, where it denotes the direction of sunset, contrasting with the east.

The Greek word πυλών (i.e., *pulōn*) refers to a gateway or porch, often associated with the entrance of a house or palace. It is used in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to gates of cities and the vestibules of buildings. The term is built from the root related to 'gate' and is noted for its use in both secular and religious architecture.

The Greek word τρεῖς (transliterated as treis) means 'three' and is a primary numeral. It appears in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew and Mark. The word has different forms, including τρία and τά, and has been used since ancient times, often associated with symbolic meanings in various cultures.
τρεῖς, of, ai, τρία, τά, three: Mt. xii. 40; Mk. viii. 2; Lk. i. 56; Jn. ii. 19, and often. [From Hom. down.] Tpels TaBepvar, see ταβέρναι.
τρεῖς In its only occurrence in the NT (Heb 41%) τετραχηλισμένα can only mean ‘‘laid open,” ‘‘ exposed,” “open” (Vg aferta; Hesych. πεφανερωμένα), but the origin of the metaphor is very doubtful. Moffatt (7CC Hed ad /.) suggests ‘‘ the practice of exposing an offender's face by pushing his head back,” Souter (Zex. s.v.), with greater probability, prefers “‘the bending back of the head in sacrifice so as to expose theneck,’’ like the Homeric aveptw (ZZ. 1. 459). The verb is found in Teles (ed. Hense) pp. 10%, 509: see also Philo de Cherud. 78 (ed. Cohn) πᾶσι τοῖς ἐπιτρέχουσι καὶ τραχηλίζουσι δεινοῖς ὑποβεβλημένος, and the compd. ἐκτραχηλίζω in 20. Leg. Alleg. ili. 109, Quod det. pot. 19.

The phrase "three days and three nights," Mt 12:40, was equivalent in Hebrew to the English "three days;" the Jews employing the expression "a day and a night" to denote our "day" of twentyfour hours. Nor did "three days," 1Sa 30:13, literally "this third day," according to their usage, necessarily include the whole of three days, but a part of three days, a continuous period including one whole day of twenty-four hours, and a portion of the day preceding it and the day following it. Compare Ge 7:12,17 1Sa 30:12-13.
