Semites and East Direction

Why is it that so many things which have to do with those people tell that they were always looking in East direction?

The word for north in Arabic is the same word for left in Arabic and Hebrew.

The word for front in Hebrew is the same word for left in Arabic.

The name of Yemen means right direction in both languages.

The name of Levant in Arabic is related to left in Hebrew and Arabic.


Why is that?

My guess is that Protosemites were heliolaters, just like the rest of peoples.

Does anybody know something about that?
