The word "hand" is often used to refer to someone's power or action. A person with his hand on another person has power over that person. See how you translated a similar phrase in [Ezekiel 1:3](../01/03.md). Alternate translation: "Yahweh was controlling me" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
