Hand

Hands in the Bible represent power, the force with which things are put into action. To be specific, they represent the power of spiritual good -- which is the love of others and serving others -- expressed through spiritual truth -- which is an understanding and knowledge of what it is to love and serve others. This is in contrast to the feet, which represent power on the natural level, and a “rod,” which represents the power of the hand passed down into external or natural ideas. In a few cases in the Bible, hands also represent communication and a drawing together. This is true when people lift their hands to heaven or to Jehovah, and also when the Lord touches children or touches people to heal them.
3 Mose 6:20
20
6:13 Das soll das Opfer sein Aarons und seiner Söhne, das sie dem HERRN opfern sollen am Tage der Salbung: ein zehntel Epha Semmelmehl als tägliches Speisopfer, eine Hälfte des Morgens, die andere Hälfte des Abends.
