"There are many things to see in Israel's Negev desert, which contains more than 55% of Israel's land, but only about 8% of its population." "And this exiled host of B'nei Israel who are [with] the Canaanites as far as Zarephath and the exile of Yerushalayim which is in Sefarad shall inherit the cities of the southland" (Ovadiah 1:20). "The origin of the word Neghebh (or in Modern Hebrew Negev) is from the Hebrew root denoting 'dry'. In the Bible the word Neghebh is also used for the direction 'south.'"
WIKIPEDIA: According to the Bible, Galilee was named by the Israelites and was the tribal region of Naphthali and Dan, at times overlapping the Tribe of Asher's land.
