Hanging

“Within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head and hang you on a tree. Then the birds will eat the flesh of your body.””

“He hung the king of Ai on a tree until evening, and at sunset Joshua commanded that they take down the body from the tree and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And over it they raised a large pile of rocks, which remains to this day.”

“So David commanded his young men, and they killed Rechab and Baanah. They cut off their hands and feet and hung their bodies by the pool in Hebron, but they took the head of Ish-bosheth and buried it in Abner’s tomb in Hebron.”

“So they hanged Haman on the gallows he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the fury of the king subsided.”

“If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,”

“you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.”

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.””
