Usage:The Greek word "χείρ" (cheir) primarily denotes the human hand. It is used both literally and metaphorically in the New Testament. Literally, it refers to the physical hand, an essential part of the body used for various functions such as touching, holding, and working. Metaphorically, "cheir" can signify power, control, or agency, as the hand often symbolizes strength and authority. Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Greek and Jewish culture, the hand was a symbol of power and action. The right hand, in particular, was associated with honor and authority. In biblical times, hands were used in blessings, oaths, and covenants. The laying on of hands was a significant ritual act, symbolizing the transfer of authority or the impartation of blessing and healing.
