Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, power, strength, agency, possession, direction
Semantic RangeLiteral hand; power or authority; control or possession; agency or instrumentality; side or direction; portion or share; monument or memorial; strength or might.
Conceptual SignificanceIn biblical thought, the "hand" represents active power and agency—whether human or divine. The "hand of YHWH" signifies decisive intervention, judgment, or deliverance, expressing tangible, effective strength exercised in history.
Morphological NotesNoun, feminine singular (absolute or construct). No pronominal suffix in the cited forms. Frequently appears in construct to express possession ("hand of...").
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד is a feminine singular noun in either absolute or construct state. The rendering "hand" preserves the concrete root sense of the physical hand while allowing for its extended meanings of power, agency, and control that flow from the hand as the instrument of action.
