9 Bible Verses about Beating People

And if men strive together, and one smite another with a stone, or with his fist, and he die not, but keepeth his bed:

He that smiteth a man, so that he die, shall be surely put to death.

And if a man smite his servant, or his maid, with a rod, and he die under his hand; he shall be surely punished.

And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.

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.

Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.
