What does او يوضع له mean in the following sentence و كنى بكف الرحمان عن القبول اذ كل قابل لشيء يأخذه بكفه او يوضع له فيه I understand the part before this but not او يوضع له فيه او يوضع له فيه

The first part reads "The phrase the Hand of the Merciful is a metaphor for acceptance. Because every (entity) who accept a thing sizes it in the palm of his hand or..." او يوضع له فيه

Does that part mean "or it (the thing) is placed for him in his hand?"
