He was given from between his two hands and from behind him.
أُعْطِيَ — was given. A passive verb, 'was given': the unnamed human is the receiver while the giver is left out. Arabic signals the passive by changing the verb's inner vowels rather than adding a helper like 'was', so the form mirrors its active twin but reverses who acts.
