Negev (a desert in southern Israel) is mentioned several times in the Bible. Negev (or Negeb) is derived from the Hebrew root "dry land". Some biblical passages use "Negev" to mean south because the Negev lay south of Judah. In the Septuagint (Greek version of the Hebrew Bible) Negev is translated as "desert."
