2 Corinthians 11:24 - Additional Comments
The offender was to be beaten in the presence of the judges (Deut 25:2-3), but was never to receive more than forty stripes. To keep within the law, it was the practice to give only thirty-nine. The culprit was attached to a low pillar so that he had to lean forward - " they shall lay him down", says the law, to receive the strokes. Verses of thirteen words in Hebrew were recited, the last always being: "But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them" [Psalm 78:38); but the words served merely to count the blows.
