Bible Note: "21:22-23 Hanging was not the usual means of death but a sequel to death, in order to expose the corpse to ultimate disgrace. See note on Gal. 3:13." (Ryrie's Study Bible) "21:22, 23: 'hang': The guilty person was not hanged by the neck; this form of execution was not practiced in ancient Israel. The hanging was actually an impaling of the corpse for public viewing after death by stoning. Everyone would know that individual had brought guilt on the community. The exposure of the corpse was limited to one day. For that day, it reminded people of God’s judgment on the sinner." (Nelson's NKJV Study Bible) "21:22-23 Hanging on a tree was not a means of execution but of displaying, as a warning, an executed criminal, who was under God’s curse because of disobedience to God’s law (cf. Josh 10:26, 27). Paul seized upon the verse to demonstrate Christ’s penal substitutionary death (Gal 3:13)." (Believer's Study Bible) "'put to death ... hung on a tree.' The offender was first executed, then "hung on a tree" (see Genesis 40:19), or, as the Hebrew for this phrase doubtless intends, "impaled on a pole" (see Gen. 40:19; Est. 2:23). "not leave his body on a tree overnight. Prolonged exposure gives undue attention to the crime and the criminal. under God's curse. God had condemned murder, and hanging on a tree symbolized divine judgment and rejection. Christ accepted the full punishment of our sins, thus becoming 'a curse for us' (Gal. 3:13)." (NIV Study Bible) |
