The KJV renders 3 different Hebrew and Greek words as “hand”

What it means

the hand (literally or figuratively (power); especially (by Hebraism) a means or instrument)

perhaps from the base of G5494 (χειμών) in the sense of its congener the base of G5490 (χάσμα) (through the idea of hollowness for grasping);

How the KJV renders it

hand

Where that flattens a distinction

The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.

“hand”

also renders chôphen (H2651), yad (H3028)
