Senses in use

  1. Right-hand position or side · dominant

    In 2 Chronicles 3:17, the masculine singular adjective identifies one of the temple-front pillars by its position; the APB renders the contrast as “one on the right and one on the left.” In Ezekiel 4:6, the same form specifies the side on which Ezekiel is to lie; the APB renders “on your right side.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term through positional language: “on the right” in 2 Chronicles 3:17 and “on your right side” in Ezekiel 4:6. These renderings reflect the verses’ directional contrast.
