Strong's Lexicon yamin: Right hand, right side, south Original Word: יָמִין Word Origin: Derived from the root יָמַן (yaman), meaning "to go to the right" or "to choose the right." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1188 (dexios): Refers to the right hand or right side, often used in the New Testament to convey similar meanings of power and authority. Usage: The Hebrew word "yamin" primarily refers to the right hand or right side. It is often used in the Bible to denote strength, authority, and favor, as the right hand was traditionally considered the hand of power and skill. Additionally, "yamin" can refer to the south, as directions were often oriented with the east as the primary point of reference, making the right side the south. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the right hand was associated with power and honor. It was customary for the right hand to be used in greetings, oaths, and blessings. The right hand was also symbolic of divine favor and protection. In biblical times, sitting at someone's right hand was a position of prestige and authority, as seen in royal courts and among disciples.
