Strong's Lexicon semovl or semol: Left, left hand, left side Original Word: שְׂמֹאול Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: smo'wl Pronunciation: seh-MOHL Phonetic Spelling: (sem-ole') Definition: Left, left hand, left side Meaning: dark, the north, the left hand Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be dark or to be left-handed. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G710 (ἀριστερός, aristeros) – left, left hand - G2176 (εὐώνυμος, euōnymos) – of good name, left Usage: The Hebrew word "semovl" or "semol" primarily refers to the left hand or the left side. It is used in the Bible to denote direction, position, or orientation, often in contrast to the right hand, which is typically associated with strength, favor, and authority. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, including Israel, the right hand was traditionally seen as the hand of power and blessing. The left hand, by contrast, was often considered weaker or less favorable. This cultural perspective is reflected in various biblical passages where the right hand symbolizes strength and honor, while the left hand is less prominent.
