Deuteronomy 21:22

Deuteronomy 21:22 -

If a man have committed a sin worthy of death ; literally, If there be on a man a judgment of death ; if he lie under sentence of death. Hang him on a tree. This refers not to putting to death by strangling, but to the impaling of the body after death. This was an aggravation of the punishment, as the body so impaled was exposed to insult and assault (cf. Numbers 25:4 ; Genesis 40:19 ).
