Exegesis
The dative autō {αὐτῷ | autō̂} with the accusative object tēn kheira {τὴν χεῖρα | tḕn kheîra} expresses the gesture of laying on of hands upon the afflicted man. The syntax thus moves from the communal initiative (“they bring”), to intercession (“they urge”), to the anticipated healing act (“that he may place his hand”), emphasizing both communal faith and the centrality of the healer’s touch.
