| Deuteronomy 21:22 | When a man hath committed a crime for which he is to be punished with death, and being condemned to die, is hanged on a gibbet: | Gibbet. Whether the person was first killed, as the Jews assert, or he was left to die upon the gibbet, see Calmet's Diss. It is also a matter of doubt, whether he was nailed to the gibbet, or hung on it by a rope. (Bonfrere) |
