Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerses 22, 23. - When a criminal was put to death and was hanged upon a tree, his body was not to remain there over-night, but was to be buried the same day on which he was executed. Verse 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 (cf. C. B. Michaelis, 'De Judiciis Poenisque Capitalibus in Sac. Script. Commemoratis,' in 'Sylloge Commentt. Theolog.,' edita a D. J. Pott, vol. 4. p. 209). 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).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English ReadersDeuteronomy 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 (2Samuel 22:9-10; 2Samuel 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 sake of that which was designed by "the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God," that His Son Jesus Christ should bear our sins in His own body on the tree, and redeem us from the curse of the Law, by being "made a curse for us." . . .
