Burial of the Executed Criminal

Deuteronomy 21:22-23

`And when there is in a man a sin--a cause of death, and he hath been put to death, and thou hast hanged him on a tree,

his corpse doth not remain on the tree, for thou dost certainly bury him in that day--for a thing lightly esteemed of God is the hanged one--and thou dost not defile thy ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee--an inheritance.
