Deuteronômio 25

Trapp - Among the Mohammedans there are very few law-suits, and the reason is given . . . because they that sue others without just cause are to be whipped publicly.” Deuteronomy 25:3 "He may beat him forty times but no more, so that he does not beat him with many more stripes than these and your brother is not degraded in your eyes. no more: 2Co 11:24-25 degraded in your eyes. Job 18:3 Lu 15:30 18:9-12 Jas 2:2,3 Deuteronomy 25 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Related Passages: 2 Corinthians 11:24-25 Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes. 25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. Comment - Paul did not receive 40 blows, as according to Deuteronomy 25:3 because as a common practice, the Jews only allowed 39 blows to be administered. This was to both show mercy and to scrupulously keep the law – one blow was left off to protect against a miscount. (Guzik Commentary) BEATEN NO MORE THAN 40 STRIPES He may beat him forty times but no more, so that he does not beat him with many more stripes than these and your brother (Israelite kin) is not degraded in your eyes (NET = "you might view your fellow Israelite with contempt" NLT = "publicly humiliate your neighbor") This is God's rule to avoid excessive punishment. He is not likely the judge actually giving the blows because in verse 2 it says the condemned was to be beaten in his presence. Forty was the maximum number but as alluded to in the previous passage the punishment was meted proportionate to the crime so the number of strokes could be less than 40.
