Senses in use
-
The side or direction contrasted with left · dominant
The noun marks spatial placement or orientation in clauses that contrast one side with the left. In 1 Kings 7:39 the APB renders the placement of stands on the side of the house; in 1 Kings 22:19 it renders the heavenly host standing beside the throne on either side; and in Exodus 14:22 it renders the waters as walls on either side of Israel. It also supplies the directional alternative in the repeated instruction not to turn aside, as the APB renders in Deuteronomy 17:11 and 2 Samuel 2:19.
-
The hand on that side · common
Construct-form occurrences appear in phrases about a hand and its use. In Genesis 48:14 the APB renders Israel placing that hand on Ephraim's head while contrasting the other hand on Manasseh; in 2 Samuel 20:9 it renders Joab taking Amasa's beard with that hand. The same phrase occurs where a hand is raised, stretched out, or acts with strength, as rendered in Daniel 12:7, Exodus 15:6, and Isaiah 41:10.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term in contrasts such as “right and... left” and in hand phrases such as “right hand.” Because the APB is a whole-verse translation, these English expressions confirm the clauses' spatial and bodily settings without fixing every individual token's English equivalent.
