Parallel
Deuteronomy 25:3
Brenton's English Septuagint · Berean Standard Bible
And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if thou shouldest scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, thy brother will be disgraced before thee.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
