Parallel
Deuteronomy 25:3
Jewish Publication Society 1917 · Berean Standard Bible
Forty stripes he may give him, he shall not exceed; lest, if he should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes, then thy brother should be dishonoured before thine eyes.
He may receive no more than forty lashes, lest your brother be beaten any more than that and be degraded in your sight.
