[And] how many lashes are given him? Forty save one, as it is said: By number forty, which means, a number coming up to forty. R. Judah says: He is given forty [lashes] in full, and where is the additional lash applied? Between his shoulders. When they estimate the number of lashes he can stand it must be a number divisible by three. |
מכות 3.10 |
If they estimated him capable of receiving forty, and after receiving
some they again estimated him as not capable of enduring forty, he is
exempted [from the rest]. If they estimated him fit to receive eighteen,
and after he received the same they again estimated him as fit for
receiving forty [save one], he is exempted [from the rest]. |
