The Mosaic Law stipulated: “In case there comes to be in a man a sin deserving the sentence of death, and he has been put to death, and you have hung him upon a stake, his dead body should not stay all night on the stake; but you should by all means bury him on that day. ”
Mozus bauslībā bija noteikts: ” Ja kāds vīrs ir apgrēkojies, ka viņš ir pelnījis nāvi, un ja to nonāvē un pēc tam pakar pie koka, tad lai viņa miesas nepaliek pa nakti pie koka, bet aproc tās tanī pašā dienā. ” ( 5. Moz. 21: 22, 23.)
