Exegesis
The clause kheir kyriou epi se {χεὶρ κυρίου ἐπὶ σέ | kheír kyríou epí sé} employs the idiom “hand of the Lord upon you,” a genitive construction in which kyriou functions as the source of the active agency, while epi with the accusative se marks the hostile direction of that agency toward the person addressed.
Root and etymology
cheirchi–epsilon–iota–rho
“hand, agency, power”
