SIBI-P1 G1188-02

the right-hand

Rootδεξιός (dexios)
Core Meaningsright side, right hand, place of favor, position of honor
Semantic Rangethe right hand, the right side, a position of strength or skill, a place of honor or authority
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical literature, the "right hand" signifies strength, authority, favor, and covenantal power. It is frequently associated with divine might and the exalted position of the Messiah at the right hand of God, expressing honor and sovereign rule.
Morphological NotesAdjective, accusative feminine singular (Gr,AA/NS/AR,,,,AFS); used substantivally. Accusative case marks it as direct object or object of a preposition; feminine singular agrees with an implied feminine noun such as χείρ (hand).
Rendering Rationaleδεξιὰν is accusative feminine singular, functioning substantivally to denote "the right (hand/side)" as the direct object of a verb or object of a preposition. Rendering it "the right-hand" preserves the feminine singular form (implied χείρ, "hand") and retains the concrete, spatial sense rooted in δεξιός.
