First, The Niddui concerned only the Person, and his separation from Sacred Offices: Cherem had also Confiscation of Goods attending of it; the substance of the Transgressor being devoted; and Shammatha was accompanied with the death of the devoted Person; Which carnal penalties under the Gospel being removed, that great and sore revenge which disobedient sinners are to expect from the hand of God at the last day, is substituted by our Apostle in the room of them all, Heb. 10.28, 29.
Civil Punishments next succeed, and they were of three sorts. First, Corporeal: § 27 Secondly, Such as respect the Outward Estate and Condition of the Offender: Thirdly, Capital.
Civil Punishments next succeed, and they were of three sorts. First, Corporeal: § 27 Secondly, Such as respect the Outward Estate and Condition of the Offendor: Thirdly, Capital.
First, Corporeal punishment was that only of Stripes, not exceeding the number of forty, Deut. 25.23. An account of the Jews Opinions, and the manner of their execution of this punishment, is given us by many; in particular, exactly by Buxtorf in his Preface unto his Bibliotheca Rabbinica, whither I refer the Reader. They call it [Greek or Hebrew], or beating by strokes, and sometimes [Greek or Hebrew], the beating of forty, or with forty. And he that was liable unto it, was [Greek or Hebrew], filius plagarum. Many Crimes doubtless rendered Persons obnoxious to this penalty; but they are not directly expressed in the Law. The Jews now reckon up seven instances of unlawful ⟨p. 294⟩copulation with Women, free and unmarried, for adultery, as is known, was capital by the express sentence of the Law. As 1. With a Sister. 2. A Fathers Sister. 3. A Mothers Sister. 4. A Wives Sister. 5. A Brothers Widow. 6. An Uncles Widow. 7. A Woman separated. Many other Crimes also they reckon up with reference unto Ceremonial Institutions, as eating of fat, and blood, and leaven on the Passover, making an Oil like the holy Oil; even all such transgressions as are threatened with punishment, but have no express kind of punishment annexed unto them.
