The first reference to "right" and "left" in The Bible is in Genesis 13:9 where Abraham tells his nephew Lot to go in one direction and he'll go the other:-

Gen 13:9 Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.

However, this is only one of 68 other references in the KJ Version to "right" and "left" in the Bible.

One of these places is in Jesus' description of the Kingdom of God, when He gathers all the nations and separates the wicked from the obedient:-

"And before Him shall be gathered all nations: and He shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth His sheep from the goats: and He shall set the sheep on His RIGHT hand, but the goats on the LEFT." (Matt.25:32-33)

The Bible talks about how Jesus is on the RIGHT hand of God as well :)

Luk 22:69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God.

Col 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.

Heb 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Do you swear with left hand on Bible to control devil?

Since oaths are sworn with the raised right hand, the left hand is the only one left to place on the Bible, thus swearing or affirming on the Bible. I think it is not so much significance of the left hand, but that the right hand is always raised for the oath - so the left is the only one left!
