At night north and sud are more significants. | |

| Nov 16, 2016 at 10:55 | comment | added | CashCow | I almost wonder if JAcob's which mentions "abroad" is a hint at exiles. Maybe West is Egypt, East is Babylon, North is Assyria but South would not be Rome so maybe it is just the final exile where the descendents spread everywhere including places in the Southern Hemisphere... But then Assyria is a few generations before Babylon so perhaps not. | |
