Deuteronomy 21:21-23
Evangelical Heritage Version
21 Then all the men of his city are to stone him to death, and so you will purge the evil from among you, and all Israel will hear and fear.
Miscellaneous Laws
22 If there is a man whose sin justly deserves a death sentence, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,[a] 23 his dead body is not to remain on the tree overnight. You must bury him on the same day, because a person left hanging on a tree is cursed by God. You are not to defile your ground that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
