1 “If there is a adispute between men, and they come to1 court, that the judges may judge them, and they bjustify the righteous and condemn the wicked,
2 then it shall be, if the wicked man adeserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down band be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows.
3 aForty blows he may give him and no more, lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these, and your brother bbe humiliated in your sight.
4 a“You shall not muzzle an ox while it1 treads out the grain.
