SIBI-P1 H3027-67

two hands

Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, power, strength, agency, possession, control, direction
Semantic RangeLiteral hands; power or authority; control or possession; agency or instrumentality; side or direction; portion or share; acts or deeds performed by one’s hand.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "hand" signifies strength, authority, and active agency—whether human or divine. The dual form emphasizes embodied action, often highlighting human responsibility or the manifest power of YHWH acting in history.
Morphological NotesFeminine noun, dual number (-ַיִם), absolute state; no pronominal suffix. The base singular is יָד.
Rendering RationaleThe form יָדַיִם is the dual absolute of the feminine noun יָד, meaning "hand." Rendering it as "two hands" preserves the explicit dual number marked by the -ַיִם ending, while retaining the core sense of physical hands as instruments of power and agency inherent in the root.
