2 If the guilty person deserves to be beaten, the judge shall make them lie down and have them flogged in his presence with the number of lashes the crime deserves, 3 but the judge must not impose more than forty lashes. If the guilty party is flogged more than that, your fellow Israelite will be degraded in your eyes. Deuteronomy 25:2-3, New International Version. Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984, 2011 by Biblica, Inc.
