Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Corresponding to the Hebrew יָד (yad), meaning "hand."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 5495: χείρ (cheir) • meaning "hand," used in the New Testament to denote physical hands or metaphorically to indicate power or agency.

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Aramaic term יַד (yad) as used in the biblical texts, highlighting its significance in conveying themes of divine power and authority.

Usage: The term is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Daniel and Ezra, to refer to a physical hand or to symbolize authority and power.

Context: The Aramaic word יַד (yad) appears in the context of the exilic and post-exilic periods, where Aramaic was a common language of administration and communication. In the book of Daniel, יַד is used in narratives that highlight God's sovereignty and the unfolding of divine plans through human history. For example, in Daniel 5:5, the "hand" of God writes on the wall, signifying divine judgment and authority. This usage underscores the theme of God's ultimate control over earthly kingdoms and rulers. Similarly, in Ezra, the term is used to describe the hand of God upon individuals, indicating divine favor or guidance, as seen in Ezra 7:6, where it is written, "The king granted him all his requests, according to the hand of the LORD his God upon him."
