Meaning of “Ward”
Ward — a prison (Gen. 40:3, 4); a watch-station (Isa. 21:8); a guard (Neh. 13:30). Northward — (Heb. tsaphon), a "hidden" or "dark place," as opposed to the sunny south (Deut. 3:27). A Hebrew in speaking of the points of the compass was considered as always having his face to the east, and hence "the left hand" (Gen. 14:15; Job 23:9) denotes the north. The "kingdoms of the north" are Chaldea, Assyria, Media, etc. Rereward — (Josh. 6:9), the troops in the rear of an army on the march, the rear-guard. This word is a corruption of the French arriere-garde. During the wilderness march the tribe of Dan formed the rear-guard (Num. 10:25; comp. 1 Sam. 29:2; Isa. 52:12; 58:8). Westward — sea-ward, i.e., toward the Mediterranean (Deut. 3:27).
