וַיֹּ֕אמֶר לָכֵ֖ן שְׁמַ֣ע דְּבַר־יְהוָ֑ה רָאִ֤יתִי אֶת־יְהוָה֙ יֹשֵׁ֣ב עַל־כִּסְא֔וֹ וְכָל־צְבָ֤א הַשָּׁמַ֙יִם֙ עֹמֵ֣ד עָלָ֔יו מִימִינ֖וֹ וּמִשְּׂמֹאלֽוֹ׃
Ecoute donc la parole de l’Éternel, reprit Mikhayou: J’ai vu le Seigneur assis sur son trône, tandis que toute l’armée céleste se tenait debout près de lui, à droite et à gauche.
The Beginning of Wisdom
16. Scripture states:21Kings I 22:19 (See Rashi there) “All the hosts of heaven stand by Him to His right and to His left.” The sages asked, “And are there right and left above? Rather, right is for virtue and left is for guilt.” Therefore, a Sefirah that influences kindness to the worthy is considered to be “right” and one which influences judgment upon the guilty is considered to be “left.”

in order to divert him to another subject and make him leave Israel alone-like a shepherd who throws a lamb to a wolf in order to save the rest of the flock. Thereupon Satan left Israel and turned his attention to Job,
Sha'arei Orah
This is the mystery of the verse,150Kings I 22:19 “I saw HaShem-יהו״ה sitting on His throne, with all the hosts of the heavens-Shamayim-שמים standing by Him, to His right and to His left.” The word “heavens-Shamayim-שמים” here, is the matter of these two names, E”l-א״ל and Elohi”m-אלהי״ם, which together are called “the heavens-Shamayim-שמים.”151As explained in the Third & Fourth Gate, the term “Heavens-Shamayim-שמים” is a composite of fire-Aish-אש and water-Mayim-מים. Water-Mayim-מים is the quality of the Sefirah of Magnanimity-Gedulah (also called Chessed), and is called E”l-א"ל and fire-Aish-אש is the quality of the Sefirah of Might-Gevurah, and is called Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. This is the secret of the verse,152Daniel 4:23 – מן די תנדע די שליטין שמיא “Once you know that the heavens rule,” and is the secret of the verse,153Psalms 123:1 “You Who dwell in the heavens-HaYoshvee BaShamayim-היושבי בשמים.” Those to the right are the hosts of the name E”l-א״ל and those to the left are the hosts of the name Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. And Who bears them all? The Name HaShem-יהו״ה, blessed is He. This then is the meaning of the words, “with all the hosts of the heavens-Shamayim-שמים standing by Him, to His right and to His left.” That is, those on the right lean towards merit through the matter of the name E”l-א״ל, and those to the left lean towards guilt, through the matter of the name Elohi”m-אלהי״ם. For, the quality of E”l-א״ל is for mercy-Rachamim and merit, and the quality of Elohi”m-אלהי״ם is for judgment-Din and guilt.
