Exegesis
The repeated be-yad phrases (beyado {בְּיָד֣וֹ | bə-yāḏô}, uveyad-ishto {וּבְיַד־אִשְׁתּ֗וֹ | û-ḇə-yad-ʾiš-tô}, uveyad štei venotav {וּבְיַד שְׁתֵּ֣י בְנֹתָ֔יו | û-ḇə-yad šəttê bənōṯāyw}) heighten the urgency and familial inclusion of the rescue.
In context — Genesis 19:16
As he hesitated, the men seized his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters in the compassion of the LORD toward him. Then they brought him out and set him down outside the city.
