SIBI-P1 H3027-03

in their hand

Rootיד (y-d)
Core Meaningshand, grasp, power, control, agency, possession
Semantic RangeLiteral hand, physical grasp, strength, power, authority, control, custody, means or instrumentality ("by the hand of"), possession.
Conceptual Significance"Hand" in biblical Hebrew often symbolizes power, authority, and agency—what is "in the hand" of someone lies under their control or within their power to act. It expresses both human dominion and divine sovereignty throughout the biblical narrative.
Morphological NotesPreposition בְּ ("in") + noun יָד (common singular construct) + 3mp pronominal suffix ם ("their"). Though grammatically singular ("hand"), it denotes possession by a masculine plural group.
Rendering RationaleThe noun יָד (hand) in singular construct form with a 3rd person masculine plural suffix ("their") yields "their hand," preceded by the preposition בְּ ("in"). This preserves both the concrete image of the hand and its extended sense of power or control, while accurately reflecting the masculine plural possessive.
