"Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree."Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: "Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree." He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.Deuteronomy 21:22–23 states, “And if a man has committed a crime punishable by death and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall bury him the same day, for a hanged man is cursed by God.”In context:https://equip.sbts.edu/publications/journals/journal-of-theology/anyone-hung-upon-a-pole-is-under-gods-curse-deuteronomy-2122-23-in-old-and-new-covenant-contexts/
