the right-hand

Rootימן (y-m-n)
Core Meaningsright side, right hand, strength, skill, south
Semantic Rangethe physical right hand; the right side of a person or object; a position of honor or authority; the southern direction (when facing east); symbolic strength or favor
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the right hand symbolizes strength, authority, blessing, and honor. It is frequently used metaphorically of YHWH’s power and saving action, and geographically it designates the south, reflecting an east-facing orientation in Israelite spatial conception.
Morphological NotesHebrew noun, common feminine singular absolute (HNcfsa). Functions as a concrete noun meaning "right hand" or "right side," and by extension "south."
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָמִין is a feminine singular absolute form meaning "right hand" or "right side," derived from the root ימן conveying the idea of the right as the stronger or more skillful side. "The right-hand" preserves the concrete bodily imagery and singular form reflected in the morphology (feminine singular absolute).
