²² “If a man has committed a sin ^(A)worthy of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, ^23 (B)his corpse shall not hang all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him on the same day (for ^(C)he who is hanged is ^[a]accursed of God), so that you ^(D)do not defile your land which the Lord your God gives you as an inheritance.

^29 (A)He hanged the king of Ai on a tree until evening; and at sunset Joshua gave command and they took his body down from the tree and threw it at the entrance of the city gate, and raised over it a great heap of stones that stands to this day.
