Ehud the Judge, was a left handed man.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Judg 3:15 “But when the children of Israel cried out to the Lord, the Lord raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a left-handed man.”<\/em> NKJV<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Ehud from the tribe of Benjamin. (the word Benjamin means, son of my right hand \u2013 word play)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n What significance is a left-handed man?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n -The right hand in the Bible represents a place of honor and strength.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n -The right arm was mainly the dominant arm, so in the Bible it references the stronger arm.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Not that a left-handed person is any less honorable.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n -Using the right hand symbolizes that was a position of strength.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Some believe that Ehud was disabled in his right hand, or it could have been as some believe that he was a man without a right hand.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Either way God used him to deliver Israel.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
