Exegesis
The article tas {τὰς | tás} with cheiras {χεῖρας | kheíras} specifies “the hands,” and the preposition ep {ἐπʼ | ep} with the accusative marks the contact “upon them.” The word order foregrounds the affectionate embrace before the verbal blessing, which in translation is preserved by rendering the participle first (“after taking them into His arms / hugged”) followed by the durative blessing and the accompanying gesture of hand-laying.
In context — Mark 10:16
And after taking them into His arms, He was blessing them, placing His hands upon them.
