the four corners of the earth

All directions: north, south, east, and west. All ends of the world.

(“And He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the outcasts of Israel, and the dispersed of Judah He will assemble from the four corners of the earth.” – Isaiah 11:12, and: “From the edge of the earth a cry, no songs shall you hear, only laments, only a sigh and a dwelling.” – H.N. Bialik / To the Bird, and: “The children of the house gathered together around one table, all the sons – all of them – from the four corners of the earth. All: from the banks of the Dnieper, from the famed city of Odessa, from the forests of Siberia and the far land of Israel.” – Shaul Tchernichovsky / Against Four Sons, and: “The great and pious Rabbi Isaiah Horowitz, author of the holy Shlah... spread Torah to all the sons of the exile. His house was open wide, and students from the four corners of the earth, both poor and rich, came to gather the dust of his feet. His home was a meeting place for the wise.” – Mordechai ben Yechezkel / The Stories Book, Part Four, Reception, 295)
