Commentary on Deuteronomy 25:12

Theological / Devotional

Cut off her hand. This was not to be done by the man she grasped, for he would be incapacitated, perhaps permanently injured. He would bring his complaint before the judges. This law is derived from the principle stated in Exodus 21:24. Some Jewish commentators reject the idea that this was to be taken literally. The rabbis later changed the sentence to one of heavy fine.
