Subject: ex.-29/20symbol blood on rightside only? |
Bible Note: Angel1 The left side and the left hand in particular is considered unclean in the Middle Eastern culture. That is the hand that takes care of body functions. The Taliban prisoners in Cuba have no need of toilet paper as has been reported in the news. Enough said!?! If you go to that area everything is done with the right hand and the left stays at the side. To extend the left hand to a person is considered an insult. All eating is done with the right hand. The left is just sort of along for the ride except at certain times. To have put blood on the left hand would be considered horrible by this society. that is why the only the right is mentioned and not the left. There is no secret meaning there. EdB |
