The lifting up of the hand was a gesture used in speaking, and signifying any weighty thing, Isaiah 49:22
and particularly in swearing, Genesis 14:22
praying, Psalm 28:2
and blessing, either of God, 134:2, or of men, as in this place. Paul, speaking of prayer, uses the phrase, "lifting up holy hands;" as also David: "Let the lifting up of my hands be as the evening sacrifice."
