The four winds of heaven are a sovereign-totality formula. The same two words scatter Israel into exile, fragment Alexander's empire, breathe life into dry bones, dispatch and restrain cosmic agents, and gather the elect from every quarter of the earth. One formula, one hand, and a canonical arc that runs from scattering to gathering.
Genesis Genesis 30:25-43
Genesis 30:25-43 is the Bethel promise beginning to come true in Hebrew. The verb parats that Yahweh swore over the sleeping Jacob at Bethel returns twice in fourteen verses to describe his Haran prosperity — same lemma, same stem, narrative-past tense. The chapter sets two readings against itself: peeled rods at the troughs in one section, the angel of God doing all of it in the next.
