Exegesis
The locus phrase be-yadkha {בְּיָדְךָ | bə-yā-d-kha} ‘in your hand’ takes meummah {מְאוּמָה | mə-ʾū-mā} ‘anything’ as its object, constrained by the ban min + hache-rem {מִן־הַחֵרֶם | mē-ḥă-rôn} ‘from the devoted thing.’
In context — Deuteronomy 13:17
And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to your hand, so that the LORD may turn from the burning of His anger and show you mercy and have compassion on you, and increase you, as He swore to your fathers.
