What is the true north the Bible speaks of? How is it found? Why is it not the " North" we think of?

Try a compass.

True north and magnetic north are two different things. The magnetic north that we think of as "north" is not exactly at the tip top of the world, but true north is.
Hope that helps.

There is True North, derived from the earth's axis of rotation, and there's Magnetic North, where your compass points.
God knows the difference.

Tried a search engine on-line; didn't find it in the KJV [A.V.]
You might try it in some of the other translations.

Certainly the "north" is often mentioned in the Bible, but I think not the "true north", at least in the A.V.
Maybe you are thinking of the Canadian National Anthem? "The true north, strong and free"?

Meh. I tend to not pay any attention to the futile scientific understanding that the Bible has to offer.

It is the sound of one hand clapping.
