3 Fyrtio slag får han giva honom, men icke mer, så att din broder icke bliver vanärad i dina ögon, därigenom att man giver honom oskäligt många slag, flera än som sades.


Commentary on this verse  

By Alexander Payne

Verse 3. The visitation of the evil and false shall be full and complete, but shall not be carried beyond what is necessary, lest good and truth should also be destroyed. [Note.— From this passage we may learn that no punishment is permitted by the Lord except what is necessary to restrain evil and develop good.]
