The KJV renders 16 different Hebrew and Greek words as “side”
What it means
the right hand or side (leg, eye) of a person or other object (as the stronger and more dexterous); locally, the south
from H3231 (יָמַן);
How the KJV renders it
right hand, side, south
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“side”
“south”
also renders nótos (G3558), mesēmbría (G3314), Têymân (H8487)
“right hand”
also renders dexiós (G1188)
