West: the side where the sun sets.
Where else “maarav” appears- from the wildernessמִּדְבַּרmidbar
wilderness
Dry, unfarmed land where flocks graze.
Where else “midbar” appears- of the mountains does it comeהָרִיםharim
General meaning: Be high; lift up.
Where else “harim” appears
Translation note
“The going out”: the east, where the sun goes out. The last Hebrew word can be read “mountains” or “exalting”; in that case the sentence would say “nor from the wilderness does exalting come.”
The context
5do not lift up on high your horn; nor speak with an insolent neck.’”
