How long can you hang on a tree? s29e50 Dt21
Manage episode 494044142 series 2851897
Crucifixion is a nasty business. It involves the torture and killing of a condemned person. But it also can tarnish the whole land that it occurs in, if the deceased is not buried on the same day. Their bodies "shall not remain all night on the tree".
The reason that Joseph of Arimathea, Nicodemus and the Jewish authorities acted expeditiously to kill and care for the three on the crosses we are familiar with is because of what it says in Deuteronomy. Once again, Deuteronomy echoes through the ages. Listen as we visit the cross.
