Verse 23
Deuteronomy 21:23
Noah Webster Bible
23
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God (Elohim);) that thy land may not be defiled, which the LORD thy God (Elohim) giveth thee for an inheritance.

לֹא תָלִ֨ין נִבְלָת֜/וֹ עַל הָ/עֵ֗ץ כִּֽי קָב֤וֹר תִּקְבְּרֶ֨/נּוּ֙ בַּ/יּ֣וֹם הַ/ה֔וּא כִּֽי קִלְלַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֖ים תָּל֑וּי וְ/לֹ֤א תְטַמֵּא֙ אֶת אַדְמָ֣תְ/ךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔י/ךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְ/ךָ֖ נַחֲלָֽה
English Translation
You shall not let his body remain on the tree overnight, for you shall surely bury him the same day, because a hanging body is a curse of God, and you shall not defile your land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
