Deuteronomy 21:22
If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree,
from Cursed Is Anyone Hung on a Tree, Deuteronomy 21:22-23
What it says

If a man commits a capital offense, is executed, and his body is hung on a tree, a further rule applies.

What it is doing

It sets the case of public exposure after execution.

In context

22If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is executed, and you hang his body on a tree, 23you must not leave the body on the tree overnight, but you must be sure to bury him that day, because anyone who is hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
