ya.man denotes turning or proceeding to the right, often set against going left.

The attested uses concern going, turning, or directing oneself toward the right, regularly in contrast to the left: a proposed direction in Genesis 13:9, a limit on turning in 2 Samuel 14:19, skill with either side in 1 Chronicles 12:2, and an imperative at a fork in Ezekiel 21:21.

   In Genesis 13:9, the cohortative form occurs in a choice of opposite directions: if the other person takes the left, the speaker will take the right. In 2 Samuel 14:19, the infinitive construct is part of the statement that no one can turn right or left from what the king has said; in 1 Chronicles 12:2, the active participle describes bow handlers able to go right and left. Ezekiel 21:21 supplies an imperative form in the setting of a fork between two ways.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the directional contrast explicitly as "go to the right" and "turn to the right or to the left" in Genesis 13:9 and 2 Samuel 14:19, and as ability to "go right and to go left" in 1 Chronicles 12:2. Ezekiel 21:21 places the imperative within the scene at a fork of two ways.
