Hanging

22 Now if someone is guilty of a capital crime, and they are executed, and you then hang them on a tree, 23 you must not leave the body hanging on the tree but must bury it the same day because God’s curse is on those who are hanged.[a] Furthermore, you must not pollute the ground that the Lord your God is giving to you as an inheritance.
