Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 21:1-23

Respect for human life (21:1-23)Murder made the land unclean, and the uncleanness could be removed only by the execution of the murderer (see Numbers 35:29-34). Where the murderer could not be found, the elders of the town nearest the place of the murder had to go to an unpolluted stream nearby and carry out the ritual slaughter of a young cow instead of the unknown murderer. The blood of the cow washed away in the stream symbolized the removal of uncleanness caused by the unlawful bloodshed... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Deuteronomy 21:22

RIGHT OF THE EXECUTED TO PROMPT BURIAL"And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be put do death, and thou hang him on a tree; his body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt surely bury him the same day; for he that is hanged is accursed of God; that thou defile not the land which Jehovah thy God giveth thee for an inheritance."The link of connection is contained in this thought: "Along with the punishment of the wicked, the recollection of their crimes was... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Deuteronomy 21:22-23

Ver. 22, 23. He be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree— Or, He be put to death, &c. Calmet and Waterland. Hence it appears, that this punishment was not the same with the Roman crucifixion; for they hanged men alive upon the gibbet, and there let them expire; but this was only hanging up their dead bodies, (see 2 Samuel 4:12.) and exposing them to shame for a time; a day at the longest; for they were to be buried at night: His body shall not remain all night upon the tree. See... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Deuteronomy 21:22

22, 23. if a man have committed a sin . . . and thou hang him on a tree—Hanging was not a Hebrew form of execution (gibbeting is meant), but the body was not to be left to rot or be a prey to ravenous birds; it was to be buried "that day," either because the stench in a hot climate would corrupt the air, or the spectacle of an exposed corpse bring ceremonial defilement on the land. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Deuteronomy 21:22-23

The burial of a hanged person 21:22-23"The preceding law had proceeded from parental to official judicial authority and had prescribed the death penalty. The present case takes the judicial process a step beyond the execution, to the exposure of the corpse as a monitory, public proclamation of the satisfaction of justice." [Note: Kline, "Deuteronomy," p. 185.] The method of public execution prescribed in Israel was normally stoning. After criminals had died, sometimes their executioners hung... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Deuteronomy 21:22-23

Deuteronomy 21:22-23.—HANGING.(22) And he be put to death.—Better, and he hath been put to death. Hanging followed death in Israel (Joshua 10:26-27).(23) His body shall not remain all night.—Observed by Joshua, but broken by the Gibeonites (2 Samuel 22:9-10; 2 Samuel 22:14).He that is hanged is accursed of God.—In the LXX., “Cursed of God is every one that hangeth upon a tree,” and cited in this form by St. Paul (Galatians 3:13). We cannot see why he should be pronounced cursed, except for the... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Deuteronomy 21:1-23

THE ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF ISRAELITE LIFEIT has often and justly been said that the life of Israel is so entirely founded on the grace and favor of God that no distinction is made between the secular and the religious laws. Whatever their origin may have been, whether they had been part of the tribal constitution before Moses’ day or not, they were all regarded as Divinely given. They had been accepted as fit building stones for the great edifice of that national life in which God was to reveal... read more
