Exegesis
The following prepositional phrase miyadi {מִיָּדִי | mî-yā-ḏî} “from my hand” is fronted before the verb tevakshenah {תְּבַקְשֶׁנָּה | tə-vaq-šēn-nāh} “you sought it,” creating a legal idiom that underscores liability: the loss was exacted from the speaker.
Root and etymology
y-sh-nyod–shin–nun
“sleep”
In context — Genesis 31:39
I did not bring to you an animal torn by beasts; I myself bore the loss . From my hand you sought it , whether it was stolen by day or stolen by night.
