Deuteronomy 23:7

23:7 You must not hate an Edomite, for he is your relative; ¹  you must not hate an Egyptian, for you lived as a foreigner ²  in his land.

Deuteronomy 25:3

25:3 The judge ³  may sentence him to forty blows, ⁴  but no more. If he is struck with more than these, you might view your fellow Israelite ⁵  with contempt.

[23:7]  ¹ tn Heb “brother.”

[23:7]  ² tn Heb “sojourner.”

[25:3]  ³ tn Heb “he”; the referent (the judge) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[25:3]  ⁴ tn Heb “Forty blows he may strike him”; however, since the judge is to witness the punishment (v. 2) it is unlikely the judge himself administered it.

[25:3]  ⁵ tn Heb “your brothers” but not limited only to an actual sibling; cf. NAB) “your kinsman”; NRSV, NLT “your neighbor.”
