Moses continues speaking to the people of Israel.
|
|
|
|
# The judge may give him forty blows
|
|
|
|
"The judge may say that they should beat the guilty person 40 times" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
|
|
|
|
# but he may not exceed that number
|
|
|
|
"but the judge may not order them to beat him more than 40 times"
|
|
|
|
# for if he should exceed that number and beat him with many more blows
|
|
|
|
"because if the judge orders them to beat him many more than 40 times"
|
|
|
|
# then your fellow Israelite would be humiliated before your eyes
|
|
|
|
This may be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "then the judge would humiliate your fellow Israelite in front of all of the people of Israel" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
|
|
|
|
# humiliated before your eyes
|
|
|
|
Here the people are represented by their "eyes" to emphasize what they see. Alternate translation: "humiliated, and you would all see it" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche]])
