Rashi, on Judg 3:16

“And he made himself a two-edged sword, with a haft in the midst of the length of the palm of the hand, and was girded therewith under his garment on the right thigh.”

“One gomed long. An abridged amoh. In German, 'daumen lang'. In old French, 'espan courte'. Over his right thigh. Since he was able to utilize his left hand, he would grasp it with the left hand.”
