SIBI-P1 H3709-35

my hollowed palm

Rootכפף (k-p-p)
Core Meaningsto bend, to curve, to כפף (bow down), to hollow
Semantic Rangepalm of the hand, hollow of the hand, sole of the foot, paw, bowl-shaped object, handle, branch, figuratively power or control
Conceptual SignificanceThe "palm" in biblical thought represents agency, possession, and power—what is held, given, or received. To place something in one’s palm signifies control or stewardship, while being in the palm of another (especially YHWH) expresses protection, authority, or judgment.
Morphological NotesCommon feminine singular noun in construct form (כַּף) with 1cs pronominal suffix (־ִי), yielding "my palm." The construct form with suffix functions as a bound possessive.
Rendering RationaleThe noun כַּף derives from the root כפף, conveying the idea of something bent or curved. As a feminine singular noun in construct form with a 1st person common singular suffix ("my"), כַפִּי literally means "the palm of me"—that is, "my palm." Rendering it "my hollowed palm" preserves both the root sense of curvature/hollowness and the singular possessive morphology.
