AMPLIFIED 2015					2 Cor 11:24 Five times I received from the Jews ¹thirty-nine lashes. [Deut 25:3]

Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

OT law limited judicial scourging (whipping) to forty lashes. The Jews established a tradition of thirty-nine lashes to minimize the risk of making a mistake in the count and giving the guilty party more than forty.
