Deuteronomio 25

Gli farà dare non più di quaranta colpi, per tema che il tuo fratello resti avvilito agli occhi tuoi, qualora si oltrepassasse di molto questo numero di colpi.

Harále dar cuarenta azotes, no más: no sea que, si lo hiriere con muchos azotes á más de éstos, se envilezca tu hermano delante de tus ojos.

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.

He 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.
