The first wind is called the eastern, because it is the first.
2The second is called the south, because there the Most High descends, and he chiefly there descends, who is praised for ever.
3The western wind has the name of deficiency, because all the lights of heaven are there diminished, and descend.
4The fourth wind which is named the north is divided into three parts, one of is them for the habitation of men, another for seas of water, with valleys, woods, rivers, darkness, and snow, and in the third is paradise.
5I saw seven high mountains higher than all the mountains of the earth, and from them frost goes forth, while days, seasons, and years go on, and pass away.
6I saw seven rivers upon earth greater than all rivers, of which one comes from the west, and its waters flow into a great sea.
7Two come from the north to the sea, their waters flowing into the Erythroean sea on the east, and with respect to those which remain, four go forth into the cavity of the north, two to their sea the Erythroean sea, and two are poured into a great sea, where it is said there is a desert.
8I saw seven great islands on the sea and on the earth, seven in the great sea.
