Every word counts in the bible. We cannot dismiss the lifting up of holy hands and think it has no significance.

One can lift up holy hands anywhere, Mike. I hope you can see that. The translations disagree with you. Actually the message bible I believe states for men not to shake their fists at God with anger and doubting.
