Stripe
Stripe
(usually some form of , nakah, to smite; but occasionally , nega, contact; , chabburah, or , chaburah, a bruise; , mahalummah, a stroke; , a wale; , a wound), a blow inflicted as a judicial punishment, usually with a rod. SEE BASTINADO. Among the Hebrews, to be beaten with stripes was a theocratic form of punishment for offenses of the less heinous kind. It was left to the judges when to inflict them, and how many to give limiting them, however, to forty as the greatest number that could be inflicted for a single offense (Deu 25:1-3). To be sure that the punishment was kept within the bounds of the law, the custom was to give forty save one (2Co 11:24). The offender, when receiving them, was laid prostrate on the ground, and the whip was applied to his back uncovered. Many allusions are made to this form of chastisement, as a symbol of primitive dealing or disciplinary correction generally (Pro 17:26; Pro 20:30; Psa 89:32)., SEE PUNISHMENT.

Stripe
“a bruise, a wound from a stripe,” is used in 1Pe 2:24 (from the Sept. of Isa 53:5), lit., in the original, “by whose bruise,” not referring to Christ’s scourging, but figurative of the stroke of Divine judgment administered vicariously to Him on the Cross (a comforting reminder to these Christian servants, who were not infrequently buffeted, 1Pe 2:20, by their masters).
“a blow, stripe, wound” (akin to plesso, “to strike,” and plektes, “a strikereo”), is rendered “stripes” in Luk 12:48 (the noun is omitted in the original in Luk 12:47 and the 2nd part of Luk 12:48); Act 16:23, Act 16:33; 2Co 6:5; 2Co 11:23. See PLAGUE, WOUND.
