'Side' in the Bible

and two olive trees by it, one on the right side of the bowl, and the other on the left side of it."

Then he said to me, "This is the curse that goes out over the surface of the whole land; for everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it on the one side; and everyone who swears falsely shall be cut off according to it on the other side.
