* "If there is a dispute between men , and they come to court , that the judges may judge them , and they justify the righteous and condemn the wicked , * then it shall be , if the wicked man deserves to be beaten , that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence , according to his guilt , with a certain number of blows . * Forty blows he may give him and no more , lest he should exceed this and beat him with many blows above these , and your brother be humiliated in your sight .
