lay hands on

The Greek that is translated as «lay hands on (someone)» in English is translated in Tae’ with «‘He-pressed-down,’ a verb that in former times was used with the specific meaning of ‘to press down one’s hand on a person’s head,’ in order to fortify his soul after a dangerous experience, but in Christian usage came to refer to the gesture made when blessing a person.»
