Deuteronomy 21:22-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² When a man hath committed a crime for which he is to be punished with death, and being condemned to die is hanged on a gibbet:

²³ His body shall not remain upon the tree, but shall be buried the same day: for he is accursed of God that hangeth on a tree: and thou shalt not defile thy land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee in possession.
