TSNTyndale Study Notes:

21:23 for anyone who is hung: The Greek version reads for everyone who is hung on a tree. Cp. Gal 3:13, which explains how this proverb applies to Jesus.
• cursed in the sight of God: Unrepentant sinners do fall under God’s judgment. However, the idea of this proverb is probably that whoever saw a person in this condition would naturally conclude that God had cursed that person, when in fact the person could have been misjudged or even lynched.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

(Occurrence 0) bury him the same day

(Some words not found in UHB: not leave_~_overnight corpse,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree that/for/because/then/when to_bury bury,him in_the=day (the)=that that/for/because/then/when curse ʼElohīm hung and=not defile DOM land,your which/who YHWH God,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )

Alternate translation: “bury him on the same day as when you execute him”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

(Occurrence 0) for whoever is hanged is cursed by God

(Some words not found in UHB: not leave_~_overnight corpse,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree that/for/because/then/when to_bury bury,him in_the=day (the)=that that/for/because/then/when curse ʼElohīm hung and=not defile DOM land,your which/who YHWH God,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )

If your language does not use the passive form in this way, you can state this in active form or in another way that is natural in your language. This could mean: (1) “because God curses everyone whom people hang on trees” and (2) “people hang on trees those whom God has cursed.”

(Occurrence 0) do not defile the land

(Some words not found in UHB: not leave_~_overnight corpse,his on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=tree that/for/because/then/when to_bury bury,him in_the=day (the)=that that/for/because/then/when curse ʼElohīm hung and=not defile DOM land,your which/who YHWH God,your giving to/for=yourself(m) inheritance )
