stripes
n : V-shaped sleeve badge indicating military rank and service
[syn: {chevron}, {stripe}, {grade insignia}]
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Stripes
as a punishment were not to exceed forty (Deut. 25:1-3), and
hence arose the custom of limiting them to thirty-nine (2 Cor.
11:24). Paul claimed the privilege of a Roman citizen in regard
to the infliction of stripes (Acts 16:37, 38; 22:25-29). Our
Lord was beaten with stripes (Matt. 27:26).
