Exegesis
The imperfect verb tikkach {תִּקַּח | tiqqāḥ} ‘you shall take’ expresses a binding instruction in the covenant context, while the idiom miyadi {מִיָּדִי | mi-yā-ḏî} ‘from my hand’ underscores personal transfer of property.
In context — Genesis 21:30
And he said, “Because you will take these seven ewe-lambs from my hand, it will serve as a witness that I have dug this well.”
