There are several references on left/right in the Bible. In general to be at right is good but to be at left is bad.

See, for example, Matthew 25:33

"He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left."

What is the origin and meaning of this symbolism left/right?

Here in Brazil, several left-handed children struggled at school because of this symbolism. These children had their left hands tied so that they were forced to write with their right hands.
