SIBI-P1 H3027-55

in my hand

Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, power, control, possession, agency, direction
Semantic Rangeliteral hand; power or might; authority; possession; control; responsibility; agency; direction; proximity ("at hand").
Conceptual Significance"Hand" in biblical thought signifies active power and exercised authority. To be "in my hand" conveys personal control or stewardship, while references to one’s hand often symbolize the ability to act, bless, judge, or deliver.
Morphological NotesNoun common feminine singular יָד with 1cs pronominal suffix ("my"). Appears with prefixed preposition בְ ("in") or conjunction וְ ("and").
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד (feminine singular) with the 1st person common singular suffix י indicates "my hand." In most occurrences here it is prefixed with בְ ("in"), yielding "in my hand," expressing possession, control, or agency; in two cases it is joined with וְ ("and"), meaning "and my hand." The rendering preserves the concrete image of the hand while allowing its extended sense of personal power or control.
