'Side' in the Bible

And they went to the entrance of Gedor, up to the east side of the valley, to seek pasture for their flocks.

He also lived to the east up to the entrance of the desert {this side of} the River Euphrates, for their livestock had multiplied in the land of Gilead.

And beyond the Jordan [at] Jericho, on the east side of the Jordan, out of the tribe of Reuben: Bezer in the wilderness with its pasturelands, Jahzah with its pasturelands,

until then they [were] gatekeepers at the gate of the king on the east [side] toward the camps of the Levites.
