the right
Pertaining to or located at the right side or the right hand; describing one positioned, moving, or oriented toward the right. In biblical contexts, often signifies southward orientation (as ancient Israelites faced east, so the right hand was south), and by extension may be used for individuals or objects situated to the south. The term can also be part of personal or tribal names, indicating right-handedness or origin from a location associated with 'the right.'

SIBI-P1 Translation H3233-02
the southern one
| Morphological Notes | Definite article + adjective, feminine singular absolute; adjectival form with -ית ending indicating feminine singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The adjective יְמָנִית is the feminine singular form derived from the root ימן, meaning "right-hand" or "southern" (since south lay to the right when facing east). Rendering it as "the southern one" preserves both the definite article and the feminine singular adjectival form while reflecting the root’s spatial orientation. |
