This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jos 8:29, Jos 10:26; So in 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. Deu 19:6, Deu 22:26; 1Sa 26:16; Mat 26:66; Act 23:29, Act 25:11, Act 25:25, Act 26:31
worthy of death: Heb. of the judgment of death, The Hebrews understand this not of putting to death by hanging, but of hanging a man up after he was stoned to death; which was done more ignominiously of some heinous malefactors. We have the examples of Rechab and Baanah, who, for murdering Ish-bosheth, were slain by David's commandment, their hand and feet cut off, and then hanged up. 2Sa 4:12
thou hang: 2Sa 21:6, 2Sa 21:9; Luk 23:33; Joh 19:31-38
