And it shall be, if the wicked man be worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down, and to be beaten before his face, according to his fault, by a certain number.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 2 is found in chapter 25 of Deuteronomy. Discipline by beating must be administered within specific limits to preserve the dignity of the person being punished. The ox working on the threshing floor is also protected, and family responsibility is regulated through the law of levirate marriage. These apparently diverse regulations share a concern to prevent abuse and preserve responsibilities within the community.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
