The power of God, referring to (Exodus 8:19) and so the Cabalistic Jews F18 explain it, ''the finger is one of the five in the hand, and is that finger which works by the power of Elohim;'' it is the same with the Spirit of God; (See Gill on Matthew 12:28) which is often called the hand of the Lord, (Ezekiel 1:3) (3:22) (37:1) (40:1) .
