SIBI-P1 H3028-06
by the two hands
| Root | יד (y-d) |
| Core Meanings | hand, power, strength, agency, possession, direction |
| Semantic Range | literal hands; power or control; authority; agency or instrumentality ("by the hand of"); possession; strength or capability. |
| Conceptual Significance | In biblical usage, the "hand" represents active power and agency—whether human or divine. The dual form can emphasize direct, personal action or control, reinforcing the concrete imagery of deeds accomplished through visible, embodied power. |
| Morphological Notes | Aramaic noun, common feminine dual absolute (ידַיִן, "two hands") with prefixed preposition בִ ("in/by"). The dual ending -ַיִן marks exactly two hands. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun יַד (yad) means "hand," often symbolizing power or agency. The morphology AR/Ncfda identifies it as an Aramaic feminine dual absolute form ("two hands"), and the prefixed בִ indicates "by" or "in," so "by the two hands" preserves both the dual number and the concrete root sense of manual agency. |
