Deuteronomy 21:22-23

22If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,1 23you 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.2 You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
