Deuteronomy 21:22-23

Modern English Version

Various Laws

²² If a man has committed a sin worthy of death and is executed, and you hang him on a tree, ²³ then his body must not remain all night on the tree, but you must bury him that day (for he that is hanged is accursed of God) so that your land may not be defiled, which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance.
