"And the kingª of Aiª he hangedª° on¹ a treeª until¹ eventide:ªª and as soon as the sunª was down,ª° Joshuaª commandedª° that they should take²° his carcase² downª°¹¹ from¹ the tree,ª and castª° it at¹ the enteringª of the gateª of the city,ª and raiseª° thereon¹ a greatª heapª of stones,ª [that remaineth] unto¹ this¹ day.ª" {Jsh 8:29} + "And afterwardª¹ Joshuaª smoteª° them, and slewª° them, and hangedª° them on¹ fiveª trees:ª and they were¹ hangingª° upon¹ the treesª until¹ the evening.ª" {Jsh 10:26}; So in "And the LORDª saidª° unto¹ Moses,ª Takeª°¹ all¹ the headsª of the people,ª and hang them upª°¹ before² the LORDª against¹ the sun,ª that the fierceª angerª of the LORDª may be turned awayª° from Israel.ª¹" {Num 25:4}, we read, "And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads (chief men) of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel." Among the Romans, in after ages, they hanged, or rather fastened to the tree ALIVE; and such was the cruel death of our blessed Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. "Lest¹ the avengerª° of the bloodª° pursueª°¹ the slayer,ª²° whileª his heartª is hot,ª° and overtakeª° him, because¹ the wayª is long,ª° and slayª° him;ª whereas he [was] not¹ worthy² of death,ª¹ inasmuch asª he¹ hatedª° him not¹ in time²¹ past.²¹¹" {Deu 19:6} + "But unto the damselª thou shalt doª° nothing;ª¹ [there is] in the damselª no¹ sinª [worthy] of death:ª for¹ as¹ when a manª risethª° against¹ his neighbour,ª and slayethªª°° him, even so¹ [is] this¹ matter:ª" {Deu 22:26} + "This¹ thingª [is] not¹ goodª that¹ thou hast done.ª° [As] the LORDª liveth,ª ye¹ [are] worthyª to die,ª because¹ ye have not¹ keptª°¹ your master,ª the LORD'Sª anointed.ª And now¹ seeª° where¹ the king'sª spearª [is], and the cruseª of waterª that¹ [was] at his bolster.ª" {1Sm 26:16} + "Whatª thinkª° ye?ª¹ They¹ answeredª° and² said,ª° He isª° guiltyª of death.ª" {Mtt 26:66} + "Whomª I perceivedª° to be accusedª° ofª questionsª of their²¹ law,ª butª to haveª° nothingª laid to his chargeª worthyª of deathª orª of bonds.ª" {Act 23:29} + "Forª if²²¹ I¹ be an offender,ª° orª have committedª° any thingª worthyª of death,ª I refuseª° notª to die:ª° butª ifª there beª° noneª of these things² whereof¹ theseª accuseª° me,ª no manª mayª° deliverª° meª unto them.ª I appeal¹ unto²° Caesar.ª" {Act 25:11} + "Butª when Iª foundª° that heª had committedª° nothingª worthyª of death,ª andª² that he¹ himself²¹ hath¹ appealed²¹ to²° Augustus,ª I have determinedª° to sendª° him.ª" {Act 25:25} + "Andª when they were gone aside,ª° they talkedª° between² themselves,ª¹ saying,ª°² Thisª manª doethª° nothingª worthyª of deathª orª of bonds.ª" {Act 26:31}
