See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Yea, before the day was I am he; and there is none that can deliver out of my hand: I will work, and who shall let it?
Hand is a metaphor because he is not a physical being. Hand means his power. So sheep of his hand. is those under his care and protection. None but God almighty can deliver out of his hand. The sheep hear his voice
Looking at the interlinear "are" is plural and translates more literally to "we are"
John 10 (King James) 27-33My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me
and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
Jesus does not claim himself within the all in
"My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all;" because he does what the father does and he is one with the father. No-one can snatch them out of jesus' hand and and no one can snatch them out of his fathers hand because they are one. Jesus claims to be one with the Father in ability and power.
Jesus claims to Be God, he claims to have power that no creature can claim. the Jews understood this and wanted to stone him for claiming to be God. None can deliver out of Gods hand, God is the one who gives life. God says I act and who can reverse it?
Yet Jesus says he can raise the dead which death is an act of God
