Wesley's Notes

21:22 On a tree - Which was done after the malefactor was put to death some other way, this publick shame being added to his former punishment.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

22, 23. if a man have committed a sin . and thou hang him on a tree-Hanging was not a Hebrew form of execution (gibbeting is meant), but the body was not to be left to rot or be a prey to ravenous birds; it was to be buried "that day," either because the stench in a hot climate would corrupt the air, or the spectacle of an exposed corpse bring ceremonial defilement on the land.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

21:22,23 By the law of Moses, the touch of a dead body was defiling, therefore dead bodies must not be left hanging, as that would defile the land. There is one reason here which has reference to Christ; He that is hanged is accursed of God; that is, it is the highest degree of disgrace and reproach. Those who see a man thus hanging between heaven and earth, will conclude him abandoned of both, and unworthy of either. Moses, by the Spirit, uses this phrase of being accursed of God, when he means no more than being treated most disgracefully, that it might afterward be applied to the death of Christ, and might show that in it he underwent the curse of the law for us; which proves his love, and encourages to faith in him.


Deuteronomy 22:26 "But you shall do nothing to the girl; there is no sin in the girl worthy of death, for just as a man rises against his neighbor and murders him, so is this case.
Matthew 26:66 what do you think?" They answered, "He deserves death!"
Mark 14:64 "You have heard the blasphemy; how does it seem to you?" And they all condemned Him to be deserving of death.
Acts 23:29 and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, but under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment. (NASB ©1995)

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:

worthy of death [heb] of the judgment of death The Hebrews understand this not of putting to death by hanging, but of hanging a man up after he was stoned to death; which was done more ignominiously of some heinous malefactors. We have the examples of Rechab and Baanah, who, for murdering Ish-bosheth, were slain by David's commandment, their hand and feet cut off, and {then} hanged up. 2Sa 4:12 Jos 8:29 10:26 Nu 25:4

in nu 25:4 we read, `And the Lord said unto Moses, take all the heads (chief men) of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.' Among the Romans, in after ages, they hanged, or rather fastened to the tree ALIVE; and such was the cruel death of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. De 19:6 22:26 1Sa 26:16 Mt 26:66 Ac 23:29 25:11,25 26:31

thou hang 2Sa 21:6,9 Lu 23:33 Joh 19:31-38
