TT #633 · Parashas Ki Seitzei · Seventh Aliyah · Passuk 25:03
Forty times he shall strike him; he shall not add, lest he continue to strike him beyond these with a great blow, and your brother be degraded before your eyes.
Torah Temimah points to Makkot 23a.
TT lemma: וְנִקְלָה.
English: ‘And he be degraded’ – even if he has already been degraded in the court they still flog him.
Derash on the independent requirement of lashes (Bavli).
The court’s formal administration of lashes is required even when the offender has already suffered public humiliation; the penalty is not waived by earlier degradation.
