Deuteronomy 21:23

King James Version (1769 Blayney revision, with Apocrypha) · Berean Standard Bible

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 (note: Heb. the curse of God);) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
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 (note: LXX; Hebrew anyone who is hanged is under God’s curse; cited in Galatians 3:13). You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
