AI Summary
Hand, the literal part of the body 1234. In biblical usage it often appears in set phrases built on Hebrew idiom, where "hand" stands for a means or instrument by which something is done, such as "through the hand(s) of" someone, or "the works of the hands" for things made by human hands 12.
By extension, "hand" is also used for a person's power or activity — an action done "by the hand of" someone means it is that person's doing 123. The same figure is applied to God, where his "hand" refers to his power or activity at work 1.
The word can further denote a person's own handwriting or signature, as when a writer notes that a greeting or closing is written "by my own hand" 13. Related idioms include the laying on of hands as an act of consecration 3, and the phrase "to keep one's hand to" something, meaning to continue doing it steadily 3.
