Job 2:6

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

"behold, he is in thine hand"; that version renders it, "behold, paradidwmisoi auton, I deliver him to thee", that is, to Satan; and which was done, that his body might be smote with sore boils by him, as it was; only his life was to be preserved, that he was not suffered to touch.

T. Bab. Succa, fol. 53.
