* When there ariseth a controversy between men , and they come nigh unto judgment , and judgment is granted them , then shall they justify the righteous man , and condemn the lawless . * And it shall beif the lawless man be , worthy of stripes , then shall the judge cause him to lie down and he beaten before him , according to the measure of his lawlessness , by number : * forty stripes , may he give him not going beyond , lest , if he do go beyond to smite him above these , with many stripes , then should thy brother be of no account in thine eyes .
