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. ”
در شریعت موسی چنین فرمان داده شده بود :‏ « اگر کسی گناهی را که مستلزم موت است ،‏ کرده باشد و کشته شود ،‏ و او را به دار کشیده باشی ،‏ بدنش در شب بر دار نماند .‏
