The 224th mitzvah is that we are commanded to lash with a strap those who transgress certain commandments.
The source of this commandment is G‑d's statement1 (exalted be He), "The judge shall make him lean over and have him flogged."
In our list of the prohibitions we will point out which mitzvos are punishable by flogging.
The details of this mitzvah are explained in tractate Makkos.2
