This is the only mutilation prescribed by the Law of Moses, unless we except the retaliation prescribed as a punishment for the infliction on another of bodily injuries Lev 24:19-20<\/span>. The act in question was probably not rare in the times and countries for which the Law of Moses was designed. It is of course to be understood that the act was willful, and that the prescribed punishment would be inflicted according to the sentence of the judges.<\/P> <\/p>\n Partly because of the great mischief she did to him, both to his person and posterity, and partly to deter all women from all immodest and impudent carriages, and to secure that modesty which is indeed the guardian of all the virtues, as immodesty is an inlet to all vices, as the sad experience of this degenerate age shows; and therefore it is not strange that it is so severely restrained and punished. <\/P> Thine eye shall not pity her, <\/B>which thou wilt be very apt to do, because of the infirmity of her sex, and the urgency of the occasion, this being done for the necessary preservation of her husband. <\/P> <\/p>\n Then thou shall cut off her hand<\/strong>,…. Which was to be done not by the man that strove with her husband, or by any bystander, but by the civil magistrate or his order. This severity was used to deter women from such an immodest as well as injurious action, who on such an occasion are very passionate and inconsiderate. Our Lord is thought to refer to this law, Mt 5:30<\/span>; though the Jewish writers interpret this not of actual cutting off the hand, but of paying a valuable consideration, a price put upon it; so Jarchi; and Aben Ezra compares it with the law of retaliation, “eye for eye”, Ex 21:24<\/span>; which they commonly understand of paying a price for the both, c. lost and who adds, if she does not redeem her hand (i.e. by a price) it must be cut off:<\/p>\n thine eye shall not pity [her]<\/strong>; on account of the tenderness of her sex, or because of the plausible excuse that might be made for her action, being done hastily and in a passion, and out of affection to her husband; but these considerations were to have no place with the magistrate, who was to order the punishment inflicted, either in the strict literal sense, or by paying a sum of money.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Deu 25:12 Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity [her].<\/p>\n <\/em><\/p>\n Ver. 12.

Thus Cranmer thrust his hand, wherewith he had subscribed a recantation, first into the fire, crying out, “Thou unworthy right hand.” An Act of Parliament was here made, in the reign of Philip and Mary, that the authors and sowers of seditious writings should lose their right hands. By virtue whereof John Stubbs and William Page had their right hands cut off, with a cleaver driven through the wrist with the force of a beetle, in the days of Queen Elizabeth, for a book written against the marriage with the Duke of Anjou, entitled, “The Gulf wherein England will be Swallowed up by the French Marriage,” &c., which most men presaged would, if it had gone on, have been the ruin of religion. a<\/em> <\/p>\n<\/p>\n a<\/em> Camden’s Elisab., <\/em> fol. 239.<\/p>\n Deu 19:13, Deu 19:21 <\/p>\n Reciprocal: Deu 7:16 – thine eye<\/p>\n Then thou shalt cut off her hand, thine eye shall not pity [her].
