Commentary for Job 40:32

שִׂים־עָלָ֥יו כַּפֶּ֑ךָ זְכֹ֥ר מִ֝לְחָמָ֗ה אַל־תּוֹסַֽף׃

Lay thy hand upon him; Think upon the battle, thou wilt do so no more.

Rashi on Job

Put your hand over him Strengthen yourself to wage battle against him, that you will put your hand over him to strike him.

Malbim on Job

Job had asserted that there is no place for such malevolent beings in creation. So God now challenges him to use the power he has been given over creation to make an end to the Leviathan once and for all. He only has to touch him and he will be gone, and the battle will be over.
