Deuteronomy 22:18

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And the elders of that city shall take the man, and chastise him. Not with words, but blows. Jarchi interprets it of beating, and so does the Talmud ; and both the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan render it,"shall beat him;''that is, with the beating or scourging of forty stripes, save one.

T. Bab. Cetubot, fol. 46.
