Matthew Poole and continuators on Ecclesiastes 1:6

6 The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north ; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits .

The Wind also somtimes blows from one quarter of the World, and somtimes from another; all of them being Synechdochically comprehended under these two eminent quarters. But because this word, the Wind is not expressed in the Hebrew, but is onely borrowed or understood from the latter clause of the Verse, this first clause is by other judicious Interpreters understood of the Sun, of whom he last spake; the words being thus rendred according to the Hebrew, He (the Sun) goeth towards the South (which he doth one half of the Year) and turneth about unto the North, which he doth the other half. And so here is the whole motion of the Sun towards the four quarters of the World particularly described, his daily motion from East to West, and back again, v. 5. and his Yearly motion from North to South, between the Signs of Cancer and Capricorn.

This clause is by all understood of the Wind, which is fitly mentioned immediately after the Sun, because it hath its rise from the Sun, who is therefore called the Father of Winds, and the Winds do usually rise with the Sun, and are laid when he sets. But then it is rendred thus, and that very agreeably to the Hebrew, the Wind goeth continually whirling or compassing about, and he returneth again to his circuits, being somtimes in one, and somtimes in another quarter, and successively returning to the same quarters in which he had formerly been.
