Miscellaneous Laws
22 If there is a man whose sin justly deserves a death sentence, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,[a] 23 his dead body is not to remain on the tree overnight. You must bury him on the same day, because a person left hanging on a tree is cursed by God. You are not to defile your ground that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
