Primary Verses:
-
Leviticus 19:20
-
"And whosoever lieth carnally
with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an
husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her;
she shall be scourged;
they shall not be put to death, because she was not
free."
-
Deuteronomy 25:1-3
-
"If there be a controversy
between men, and they come unto judgment, that the
judges may judge them; then they shall justify the
righteous, and condemn the wicked. 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.
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."
