For example, the Greek word "δεξιός" (dexios, Strong's Greek 1188) is used to denote the right hand or side, often in contexts of honor and authority, such as in Matthew 25:33 (BSB), where the sheep are placed on the right.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "yaman" primarily means to go to the right or to use the right hand. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often implies a sense of favor, strength, or skill, as the right hand was traditionally considered the hand of power and authority. The term can also suggest a direction or choice, indicating a preference or decision to move towards the right.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the right hand was symbolically associated with power, authority, and blessing. The right side was often considered the side of favor and strength, while the left was seen as weaker or less favorable. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical texts where the right hand is associated with God's power and deliverance.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>denominative verb from <a href="/hebrew/3225.htm">yamin</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to go to or choose the right, to use the right hand<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>go to the right (2), right hand (1), turn to the right (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>go turn to on, use the right hand <p>A primitive root;
