Right Hand
RIGHT-HAND
The most efficient member of the body, Mat 5:30, and the ready executor of the behests of the will. Hence its use as a symbol of many of the strongest emotions of the inner man. The right-hand is significant of power, especially the almighty power of God, Exo 15:6 Psa 21:8 77:10; of honor, Psa 45:9 Mat 25:34 Mal 7:55 ; of special benediction, Gen 48:14 ; of fraternal love, Gal 2:9 ; of hostility, Psa 109:6 Zec 3:1 ; and of allegiance, 1Ch 29:24 . It was raised in the act of prayer, and also in taking an oath, Gen 14:22 ; hence the right-hand of a perjured man was “a right-hand of falsehood,” Psa 144:8 . In regard to the points of the compass, the right-hand in Hebrew denotes the south, 1Sa 23:19 24:1-22; as the left-hand means the north, Gen 14:15 . See EAST.
