Deuteronomy Chapter 25, Verse 3
From BibleWiki
3: Forty stripes he may give him, and not exceed: lest, if he
should exceed, and beat him above these with many stripes,
then thy brother should seem vile unto thee.
3: Yet so, that they exceed not the number of forty: lest thy brother
depart shamefully torn before thy eyes.
3: And they shall scourge him with forty stripes in number, they shall not inflict more; for if thou shouldest scourge him [with] more stripes beyond these stripes, thy brother will be disgraced before thee.
