SIBI-P1 H3027-10

in his hand

Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, power, strength, agency, possession, control
Semantic RangeLiteral hand; power; authority; control; possession; responsibility; agency; means by which something is done.
Conceptual Significance"Hand" in biblical Hebrew often signifies power, authority, or active agency, whether human or divine. To be "in his hand" conveys being under one’s control, within one’s power, or entrusted to one’s agency, a key expression for divine sovereignty and human responsibility.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + feminine singular noun יָד in construct form + 3ms pronominal suffix ("his").
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד ("hand") carries the core sense of hand as a symbol of power or agency. The form is feminine singular in construct with a 3rd masculine singular pronominal suffix ("his"), preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"), thus accurately rendered "in his hand," preserving both the root imagery and the grammatical details.
