Topical Lexicon

Concept and Imagery

יָדָה (yāḏâ) unites verbal acclaim with a physical act. The root picture is an open hand that “throws” praise or confession toward its object. Whether lifted in worship, stretched over a sacrifice, or extended toward another person, the hand embodies public declaration. Thus yāḏâ moves between two poles—joyful thanksgiving and humble confession—but never in silence.

Birth of Judah and Covenant Hope

The first occurrence sets the theological tone: “This time I will praise the LORD. So she named him Judah” (Genesis 29:35). Judah’s very name carries yāḏâ. The tribe that would bear the scepter (Genesis 49:10) and bring forth Messiah is anchored in praise. The chronic refrain of Judah’s kings—“Hezekiah… ordered the Levites to sing praise to the LORD” (2 Chronicles 29:30)—echoes Leah’s naming act and anticipates the Lion of Judah whose followers are “a people for God’s own possession, to proclaim the virtues of Him who called” (1 Peter 2:9).

Praise and Thanksgiving in Corporate Worship

1. Levitical ministry: David “appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark… to thank (yāḏâ) and praise the LORD” (1 Chronicles 16:4). From that day forward, the Levitical choir institutionalized yāḏâ with cymbals, stringed instruments, and unified voices (1 Chronicles 25:3; 2 Chronicles 5:13).
2. Temple liturgy: Solomon dedicated the temple while “praising and thanking (yāḏâ) the LORD” until “the glory of the LORD filled the house” (2 Chronicles 7:3).
3. Post-exilic renewal: “With praise and thanksgiving they sang responsibly to the LORD… all the people shouted with a great shout” (Ezra 3:11; cf. Nehemiah 12:27‐47). Yāḏâ frames both foundation and wall of the restored sanctuary, testifying that worship survives exile.

Yāḏâ in the Psalms

Roughly half of the occurrences cluster in Psalms, giving vocabulary to every facet of devotion:
• Celebration: “Enter His gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise; give thanks (yāḏâ) to Him” (Psalm 100:4).
• Remembrance: “We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks, for Your Name is near” (Psalm 75:1).
• Testimony after deliverance: the four stanzas of Psalm 107 end with the refrain, “Let them give thanks (yāḏâ) to the LORD for His loving devotion.”
• Perpetual doxology: Psalm 136 begins and ends, “Give thanks to the LORD, for He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
• Mission: “Therefore I will praise (yāḏâ) You, O LORD, among the nations” (Psalm 18:49 = 2 Samuel 22:50), later applied to Gentile inclusion in Romans 15:9.

Confession and Atonement

When the hand is laid upon sin offerings, yāḏâ shifts from praise to penitence.
• Personal guilt: “When someone becomes aware of his sin, he is to confess (yāḏâ) that sin” (Leviticus 5:5).
• National atonement: “Aaron shall lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities of the Israelites” (Leviticus 16:21).
• Confrontation: Joshua urged Achan, “Give glory to the LORD… and give Him the praise (yāḏâ); tell me what you have done” (Joshua 7:19).
• Individual restoration: “Then I acknowledged (yāḏâ) my sin to You… and You forgave the guilt of my sin” (Psalm 32:5).

Public, verbal confession is indispensable to reconciliation with God and neighbor.

Songs of Deliverance and Kingship

Following military victory or divine rescue, Israel voiced yāḏâ:
• David’s thanksgiving song (2 Samuel 22; Psalm 18).
• Jehoshaphat’s choir advanced into battle “singing to the LORD and praising (yāḏâ) Him for the splendor of His holiness” (2 Chronicles 20:21).
• Hezekiah’s Passover revival concluded with “great rejoicing… while the Levites and the priests praised (yāḏâ) the LORD day after day” (2 Chronicles 30:21).

Relationship to Sacrifice of Thanksgiving (Todah)

The noun תּוֹדָה (todah) grows from the same stem. A todah offering fused confession, testimony, and communal meal (Leviticus 7:12‐15; Psalm 116:17). Jonah vowed, “With the voice of thanksgiving (todah) I will sacrifice to You” (Jonah 2:9), illustrating that even from the depths, yāḏâ finds expression.

Post-Exilic and Messianic Resonance

Jeremiah foresaw a future in which “out of them will come thanksgiving (todah) and the sound of rejoicing” (Jeremiah 30:19). Zechariah anticipated nations grasping the hem of a Jew to seek the LORD (Zechariah 8:23), echoing the missionary thrust of Psalm 18:49. In the New Covenant, the Greek verbs homologeō (confess) and eucharisteō (give thanks) mirror the two primary shades of yāḏâ, revealing continuity between Testaments.

Practical Ministry Implications

• Worship leaders should engage both heart and body, encouraging visible, audible thanksgiving.
• Corporate confession remains essential; silence before God is broken by yāḏâ that names sin and magnifies grace.
• Testimony gatherings echo the todah sacrifice, allowing the redeemed to “tell of His works with shouts of joy” (Psalm 107:22).
• Evangelism finds biblical warrant when praise is aimed “among the nations” (Psalm 18:49).

Representative Passages by Theme

Thanksgiving/Praise: Genesis 29:35; 1 Chronicles 16:4; 2 Chronicles 5:13; Psalm 30:4; Psalm 92:1; Psalm 100:4; Psalm 136:1.

Confession of Sin: Leviticus 5:5; Leviticus 16:21; Numbers 5:7; Ezra 10:1; Psalm 32:5; Daniel 9:4.

Musical Worship: 1 Chronicles 23:30; 2 Chronicles 29:30; Nehemiah 12:46.

Prophetic/Future Hope: Jeremiah 33:11; Jonah 2:9.

Summary

Across covenant eras yāḏâ binds Israel’s history with the Church’s calling: hands lifted in grateful praise, hearts laid bare in sincere confession, voices publishing God’s steadfast love to all nations until every knee bows and every tongue confesses that Jesus Christ is Lord.
