SIBI-P1 H3027-68

his two hands

Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, power, strength, agency, possession, control
Semantic RangeLiteral hands; physical strength; power or authority; control or possession; agency or instrumentality; side or direction; responsibility or charge.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the “hand” represents active power and authority—what one accomplishes, controls, or brings about. “His two hands” can signify not only physical members but also the personal power, deeds, and dominion exercised by a man, often attributed supremely to YHWH when used of Him.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine noun יָד in the dual form with 3ms pronominal suffix (יָדָיו), functioning as a noun in construct with possessive ending; dual indicates the natural pair of hands.
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד (hand) in this form is dual with a 3rd person masculine singular pronominal suffix, indicating specifically “his two hands.” Rendering it as “his two hands” preserves both the inherent dual number of the Hebrew form and the masculine singular possession, while retaining the root sense of the hand as the instrument of power and action.
