'Lashes' in the Bible

If the guilty party deserves to be flogged, the judge will make him lie down and be flogged in his presence with the number of lashes appropriate for his crime.

He may be flogged with 40 lashes, but no more. Otherwise, if he is flogged with more lashes than these, your brother will be degraded in your sight.

A rebuke cuts into a perceptive personmore than a hundred lashes into a fool.

Lashes and wounds purge away evil,and beatings cleanse the innermost parts. >
