Deuteronomy 21:21-23 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

21. Then all the men of his city will stone him to death. You must purge the evil from you, and all Israel will hear and be afraid.

22. “If anyone is found guilty of an offense deserving the death penalty and is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,

23. you are not to leave his corpse on the tree overnight but are to bury him that day, for anyone hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
