your hollow palm
| Root | כפף (k-p-p) |
| Core Meanings | to bend, to curve, to כפ (be hollowed), to bow |
| Semantic Range | palm of the hand, sole of the foot, hollow or concave surface, bowl or spoon, paw, handle, branch; figuratively, power or possession |
| Conceptual Significance | The "palm" represents agency, power, possession, and control in biblical thought. What is placed in one’s palm is under one’s authority, and what is delivered from it is released from one’s power, making the term a vivid image of human and divine sovereignty. |
| Morphological Notes | Noun common feminine singular construct (כַּף) with 2nd masculine singular pronominal suffix (־ךָ), literally "palm of you." |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun כַּף denotes the curved or hollow part of the hand, deriving from the root כפף meaning "to bend" or "to curve." The form is feminine singular construct with a 2nd masculine singular suffix, so "your hollow palm" accurately reflects the singular form and addresses one male individual while preserving the root idea of a curved, hollowed surface. |
