Contextual Overview

1 Canst thou drawe out Leuiathan with an hooke, or binde his tongue with a corde? 2 Canst thou put a hooke in the nose of him, or bore his iawe through with a naule? 3 Wyl he make many faire wordes with thee [thinkest thou] or flatter thee? 4 Wyll he make a couenaunt with thee? or wilt thou take him for a seruaunt for euer? 5 Wylt thou take thy pastime with him as with a birde, wilt thou binde him for thy maydens? 6 That thy companions may make a refection of him: or shall he be parted among the marchauntes? 7 Canst thou fil the basket with his skin? or the fishe panier with his head? 8 Laye thyne hande vpon him, remember the battaile, and do no more so. 9 Beholde his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perishe euen at the sight of him? 10 No man is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: Who is able to stande before me?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Lay thine hand upon him,.... If thou canst or darest. It is dangerous so to do, either to the whale or crocodile;

remember the battle; or "look for war", as Mr. Broughton renders it; expect a fight will ensue, in which thou wilt have no share with this creature:

do no more; if thou canst by any means escape, take care never to do the like again; or thou wilt never do so any more, thou wilt certainly die for it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Lay thine hand upon him - Prof. Lee renders this, very improperly, as it seems to me, “Lay thine hand on thy mouth respecting him,” supposing it means that he should be awed into silence by dread of the animal referred to. But the meaning of the passage evidently is, “Endeavor to seize him by laying the hand on him, and you will soon desist from the fearful conflict, and will not renew it.”

Remember the battle - Remember what a fearful conflict will ensue. Perhaps there is an allusion to some fact fresh in the mind of Job, where such an attempt had been made to secure the leviathan, attended with fearful disaster to those who had made the attempt.

Do no more - Or, rather, “Thou wilt not do it again.” That is, he would be deterred from ever renewing the attempt, or the conflict would be fatal to him.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 41:8. Lay thine hand upon him? — Mr. Heath translates, "Be sure thou strike home. Mind thy blow: rely not upon a second stroke." Mr. Good translates: -

"Make ready thy hand against him.

Dare the contest: be firm."


He is a dangerous animal; when thou attackest him, be sure of thy advantage; if thou miss, thou art ruined. Depend not on other advantages, if thou miss the first. Kill him at once, or he will kill thee.
