struggle of hands = movement of one's hands through water as of a swimmer
1 ISA 25:11 A decisive factor in the interpretation chosen here (of NRSV "struggle of hands" and REB "stroke of hands") is ארב's basic meaning of "to hide (in ambush)" | here someone hides his hands in the water of a dung-pit as a swimmer trying not to sink | other interpretations: DCH "(perhaps) skill" | RSV "skill of hands" | NIV "cleverness of hands" | NJPS "emblems of power" | NJB "what hands may attempt"
