જો ગુનેગાર ફટકા મારવા યોગ્ય હોય તો ન્યાયાધીશ તેને નીચે સુવાડીને તેના ગુના પ્રમાણે ગણીને તેની હાજરીમાં ફટકા મારે.

और यदि दोषी मार खाने के योग्य ठहरे, तो न्यायी उसको गिरवाकर अपने सामने जैसा उसका दोष हो उसके अनुसार कोड़े गिनकर लगवाए।

In context

1If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment and the judges judge them, then they shall justify the righteous and condemn the wicked.

2It shall be, if the wicked man is worthy to be beaten, that the judge shall cause him to lie down and to be beaten before his face, according to his wickedness, by number.

3He may sentence him to no more than forty stripes. He shall not give more, lest if he should give more and beat him more than that many stripes, then your brother will be degraded in your sight.

4You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.
