“But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.”
Job 2:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 2:5
Satan requests permission to touch Job's 'bone and flesh'—his physical person—predicting this will cause Job to curse God directly ('to thy face'). The Hebrew 'nega'' (touch) is the same word used for plague or affliction, suggesting painful physical disease. Satan assumes that bodily suffering penetrates deeper than economic loss, revealing his belief that humans are fundamentally materialistic. Yet God's grant of permission demonstrates His confidence that true faith endures even physical torment.
