Exegesis
The construct phrase pat-lechem {פַּת־לֶחֶם | patṯ-leḥem} ‘piece of bread’ denotes a portion rather than a whole loaf, while beyadeikh {בְּיָדֵֽךְ | bə-yāḏēḵ} ‘in your hand’ specifies personal delivery, emphasizing immediacy and hospitality. The English rendering preserves the Hebrew verb sequence and the nuanced force of the entreaty.
In context — 1 Kings 17:11
And she went to take it, and he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."
