Greetings,
How do you say “hedging the Law” or “building a hedge/fence about the law”?
Please see:
http://www.bible-history.com/Scribes/THE_SCRIBESA_Fence_Arou...
Another example has to do with making sure that the Law is not violated by excessiveness: in corporal punishment, 39 strokes were set down as maximum even though the original number was 40, to be absolutely sure that more than 40 weren’t administered.
All the best, and many thanks,
Simon
