"Now if a person has committed a sin carrying a sentence of death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

his body is not to be left overnight on the tree, but you shall certainly bury him on the same day (for he who is hanged is cursed of God), so that you do not defile your land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.

His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
