Deuteronomy 25— Hebrew word study · with the Hebrew tradition

In Jewish life

Jewish practice and Jewish teaching both have something to say about Deuteronomy 25. Three things follow: where it is read, what is done because of it, and how the rabbis have taught it. The purpose is to inform a Christian reader what Jews believe and how Judaism was and is practised.

The reading

Weekly portion 49 of 54

כִּי־תֵצֵא Ki Teitzei, Deuteronomy 21:10 to 25:19

The verse numbers here are the ones a Hebrew Bible carries, which differ from an English Bible by a verse or two in several places. The Sephardi reading is named only where this site records a difference; communities vary beyond what is listed. What these books are, and how a Christian reader meets them →

How to read a word below: the Hebrewword, then how it sounds, then what it means, then its number in Strong’s concordance, a widely used lookup this site follows (H for Hebrew and Aramaic, G for Greek). Square brackets hold a word the English supplies that the Hebrew does not, angle brackets mark the Hebrew’s own grammatical elements that English renders as separate words, and the mark ס or פ is where the Hebrew manuscripts end a paragraph.

RambanSpain, 1194–1270· Commentary
According to the tradition of our Rabbis that stripes are administered to those who are guilty of having violated negative commandments. Makkoth 13b. [and not in civil cases, the question arises] what is its [the stripes’] connection with a quarrel between two people?
