Topical Encyclopedia

In the Bible, hands are frequently mentioned and hold significant symbolic and practical importance. They are often associated with power, action, blessing, and consecration. The use of hands in Scripture can denote a wide range of meanings, from the literal to the metaphorical, and they play a crucial role in the narrative and theological themes of the Bible.

Creation and Power

The concept of hands is first introduced in the context of creation. In Genesis 2:7, God forms man from the dust of the ground, implying the use of His hands in the creative process. This act signifies God's intimate involvement and power in creation. The hands of God are often depicted as a symbol of His might and authority. In Isaiah 48:13, it is written, "Surely My hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together."

Blessing and Consecration

Hands are also used in the context of blessing and consecration. The laying on of hands is a significant ritual act in the Bible, symbolizing the transfer of blessing, authority, or the Holy Spirit. In Genesis 48:14, Jacob crosses his hands to bless Ephraim and Manasseh, Joseph's sons, indicating the intentional bestowal of blessing. In the New Testament, the laying on of hands is used for healing and imparting the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts 8:17: "Then Peter and John laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit."

Work and Labor

Hands are frequently associated with work and labor. Proverbs 31:13 speaks of the virtuous woman who "works with willing hands," highlighting diligence and industriousness. The hands are instruments of human endeavor and creativity, reflecting the divine image in which humanity was created. Ecclesiastes 9:10 advises, "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might."

Divine Protection and Guidance

The hands of God are often invoked as a source of protection and guidance. Psalm 139:10 states, "Even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast." This imagery conveys the assurance of God's presence and support in the lives of believers. The right hand, in particular, is frequently associated with strength and favor.

Judgment and Discipline

Conversely, hands can also symbolize judgment and discipline. In Exodus 9:3, the hand of the Lord brings a plague upon Egypt, demonstrating His power to execute judgment. The imagery of God's hand is used to convey His ability to discipline and correct His people, as seen in Hebrews 10:31: "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God."

Symbol of Human Weakness and Need for God

Human hands, in contrast to divine hands, often symbolize weakness and the need for God's intervention. In Psalm 90:17, the psalmist prays, "May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish the work of our hands for us—yes, establish the work of our hands." This plea acknowledges human dependence on God for success and blessing in their endeavors.

Christ's Hands

The hands of Jesus Christ hold particular significance in the New Testament. His hands healed the sick, blessed children, and broke bread. The crucifixion of Christ involved the piercing of His hands, fulfilling prophetic Scripture and symbolizing the sacrificial love of God. In John 20:27, Jesus invites Thomas to see and touch His hands, providing proof of His resurrection and the reality of His bodily sacrifice.

In summary, hands in the Bible are rich with meaning, representing divine power, human action, blessing, and the need for God's guidance and intervention. They serve as a powerful symbol of the relationship between God and humanity throughout the biblical narrative.

HANDS; HANDS, IMPOSITION, LAYING ON OF

im-po-zish'-un (epithesis cheiron, Acts 8:18 1 Timothy 4:14; 2 Timothy 1:6 Hebrews 6:2): The act or ceremony of the imposition of hands appears in the Old Testament in various connections: in the act of blessing (Genesis 48:14); in the ritual of sacrifice (hands of the offerer laid on head of victim, Exodus 29:10, 15, 19 Leviticus 1:4; Leviticus 3:2, 8, 13; Leviticus 4:4, 24, 29; 8:14; 16:21); in witness-bearing in capital offenses (Leviticus 24:14). The tribe of Levi was set apart by solemn imposition of hands (Numbers 8:10); Moses appointed Joshua to be his successor by a similar act (Numbers 27:18, 23 Deuteronomy 34:9). The idea in these cases varies with the purpose of the act. The primary idea seems to be that of conveyance or transference (compare Leviticus 16:21), but, conjoined with this, in certain instances, are the ideas of identification and of devotion to God.

In the New Testament Jesus laid hands on the little children (Matthew 19:13, 15 parallel Mark 10:16) and on the sick (Matthew 9:18 Mark 6:5, etc.), and the apostles laid hands on those whom they baptized that they might receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:17, 19; Acts 19:6), and in healing (Acts 12:17). Specially the imposition of hands was used in the setting apart of persons to a particular office or work in the church. This is noticed as taking place in the appointment of the Seven (Acts 6:6), in the sending out of Barnabas and Saul (Acts 13:3), at the ordination of Timothy (1 Timothy 4:14 2 Timothy 1:6), but though not directly mentioned, it seems likely that it accompanied all acts of ordination of presbyters and deacons (compare 1 Timothy 5:22 Hebrews 6:2). The presbyters could hardly convey what they had not themselves received (1 Timothy 1:14). Here again the fundamental idea is communication. The act of laying on of hands was accompanied by prayer (Acts 6:6; Acts 8:15; Acts 13:3), and the blessing sought was imparted by God Himself. No ground is afforded by this symbolical action for a sacrament of "Orders."

See SACRIFICE; MINISTRY; ORDINATION.
