yad denotes a physical hand and, in recurring constructions, power, custody, agency, oversight, or committed action.

The supplied verses most often use yad in constructions of power or custody: peoples, kingdoms, and outcomes are given into, taken from, or fall into someone’s hand. It also denotes the physical body part, action performed through a person, supervision or charge, what is received from someone, and gestures of commitment.

1. Power, custody, or control · dominant

   Singular construct forms occur where enemies are given into David’s hand in 1 Chronicles 14:10 and where David asks not to fall into the hand of man in 1 Chronicles 21:13. The same construction frames the removal and transfer of a kingdom in 1 Kings 11:31 and 1 Kings 11:35; in 1 Kings 11:31 the APB renders the clause “tear the kingdom from the hand of Solomon and give ten tribes to you.”

   The construct forms occur in arrangements of responsibility: Levites are “under the hand of the sons of Aaron” in 1 Chronicles 23:28, musicians are under Asaph, Jeduthun, and the king in 1 Chronicles 25:2 and 1 Chronicles 25:6, and consecrated goods come under Shelomith and his brothers in 1 Chronicles 26:28.

5. What is held, supplied, or enabled · occasional

   In 1 Chronicles 29:12, singular construct forms place “strength and might” in God’s hand and say that magnifying and strengthening are in that hand. The same chapter describes offerings and building resources as “from your hand” in 1 Chronicles 29:14 and 1 Chronicles 29:16, while 1 Kings 10:13 measures Solomon’s gift “according to the hand of King Solomon” in the APB.

6. Gesture of opposition or commitment · rare

   The singular absolute form is used when Jeroboam “raised his hand against the king” in 1 Kings 11:26 and 1 Kings 11:27. In 1 Chronicles 29:24, the absolute form occurs where the officials and David’s sons “gave a hand under Solomon the king,” and 1 Chronicles 29:5 joins consecrating one’s hand to willing service.

   1 Kings 11:261 Kings 11:271 Chronicles 29:241 Chronicles 29:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across these verses, the APB often preserves “hand,” especially in phrases such as “into your hand,” “by the hand,” and “under the hand.” It also uses the wording in broader clauses of transfer, charge, and action; Its varied English does not by itself define the term.
