Deuteronomy 21:23 in Context — Deuteronomy 21
21 Et tous les hommes de sa ville le lapideront, et il mourra. Tu ôteras ainsi le mal du milieu de toi, afin que tout Israël entende et craigne.
22 Si l’on fait mourir un homme qui a commis un crime digne de mort, et que tu l’aies pendu à un bois,
23 son cadavre ne passera point la nuit sur le bois; mais tu l’enterreras le jour même, car celui qui est pendu est un objet de malédiction auprès de Dieu, et tu ne souilleras point le pays que l’Éternel, ton Dieu, te donne pour héritage.
