Deuteronomy 21:22-23
Evangelical Heritage Version
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.

Lexham English Bible
22 “And if a man commits a sin punishable by death,[a] and so he is put to death and you hang him on a tree, 23 his dead body shall not hang on the tree, but certainly you shall bury him on that day, for cursed by God is one that is being hung; so you shall not defile your land[b] that Yahweh your God is giving to you as an inheritance.”
