²² “If a man has committed a sin ^(A)deserving of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree,

^23 (A)his body shall not remain overnight on the tree, but you shall surely bury him that day, so that ^(B)you do not defile the land which the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance; for ^(C)he who is hanged is accursed of God.

²⁷ So it was at the time of the going down of the sun that Joshua commanded, and they ^(A)took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.
