Deuteronomy 21:21-22
21:22 a hung on a tree: This was not the method of execution, at least in this text. It was a shameful display of those already put to death for capital offenses, probably to show the Lord’s hatred of sin and to deter others who might commit such acts (see also Gen 40:19 b, 22 c; Josh 10:26 d; 2 Sam 4:12 e; 21:12 f; Esth 2:23 g; 7:10 h).
