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.”
