<p> ''''' hang´ing ''''' ( תּלה , <i> ''''' tālāh ''''' </i> , "to hang up," "suspend," 2 Samuel 21:12; Deuteronomy 28:66; Job 26:7; | Genesis 40:19 40:22 Esther 7:9 Genesis 40:19 Deuteronomy 21:22 Joshua 8:29 2 Samuel 4:12 Deuteronomy 21:22-23 Joshua 8:29 Joshua 10:26-27 [[Genesis]] 40:19 1 Samuel 31:10 2 Samuel 21:8-10 Galatians 3:13 <p> According to the first century [[Jewish]] historian, Josephus, all executed criminals were afterward hanged. The [[Mishna]] prescribes hanging only for those put to death by stoning. Some Bible students think hanging was prescribed only for blasphemers and idolaters. </p> <p> [[Hanging]] oneself is mentioned only once in the Old [[Testament]] and once in the New Testament. Ahithophel, David's counselor, joined the conspiracy of Absalom, David's son ( 2 Samuel 15:31 ). [[Feeling]] his ploy for personal power evaporate, he set his house in order and hanged himself ( 2 Samuel 17:23 ). Judas, one of the twelve disciples of our Lord, in a desperate effort to resolve guilt and atone for the misdeed of betraying Jesus for thirty pieces of silver, went out into the night and hanged himself ( Matthew 27:5 ). Acts 1:18 says he fell headlong and burst asunder, presumably as the rope broke. </p> <p> C. [[Dale]] Hill </p> | ||

<p> Criminals were usually put to death before hanging, for ignominy ( Joshua 10:26). The bodies were removed before nightfall in order not to defile the land ( Deuteronomy 21:22-23). Hence our Lord's body as those of the two thieves was taken from the cross before the "high day" of the approaching "sabbath" ( John 19:31). </p> | |||

<p> '''Hanging.''' The "hanging" was a curtain or '''Covering''' to close an entrance; one was placed before the door of the Tabernacle. Exodus 26:36-37; Exodus 39:38. </p> | |||

<p> (as a punishment, '''''הוֹקַיעִ''''' , to ''Impale'' with dislocation of the limbs, Numbers 25:4; 2 Samuel 21:6; 2 Samuel 21:9; '''''תָּלָה''''' , to ''Suspend,'' as among the Hebrews, Deuteronomy 21:22; the Egyptians, Genesis 40:19; and the Persians, Esther 7:10; Esther 5:14; '''''Κρεμάννυμι''''' ). (See [[Crucifixion]]). Hanging on a tree or gibbet appears to have been a mark of infamy, inflicted on the dead bodies of criminals, rather than a punishment, as modern nations employ it. The person suspended was considered as a ''Curse, An Abomination'' in the sight of God, and as receiving this token of infamy at his hand. The body, nevertheless, was to be taken e down and buried on the same day. The hanging mentioned in 2 Samuel 21:6, was the work of the Gibeonites, and not of the Hebrews. Posthumous suspension of this kind, for the purpose of conferring ignominy, differs materially from the crucifixion that was practiced by the Romans, although the [[Jews]] gave such an extent to the law in Deuteronomy 21:22-23, as to include the last-named punishment ( John 19:31; Acts 5:30; Galatians 3:13; 1 Peter 2:24). The more recent Jews attributed the origin of the punishment of strangulation to Moses, and supposed it to have been meant by the phrase, "He shall die the death,"but without cause. (See [[Punishment]]). </p> | |||

<p> ''''' hang´ing ''''' ( תּלה , <i> ''''' tālāh ''''' </i> , "to hang up," "suspend," 2 Samuel 21:12; Deuteronomy 28:66; Job 26:7; Psalm 137:2; Song of [[Solomon]] 4:4; Hosea 11:7 ): Generally, where the word is used in connection with punishments, it appears to have reference to the hanging of the corpse after execution. We find but two clear instances of death by hanging, i.e. strangulation - those of [[Ahithophel]] and [[Judas]] (( 2 Samuel 17:23; Matthew 27:5 ), and both these were eases of suicide, not of execution. The foregoing [[Hebrew]] word is clearly used for "hanging" as a mode of execution in Esther 5:14; Esther 6:4; Esther 7:9; Esther 8:7; Esther 9:13 , Esther 9:14 , Esther 9:25; but probably the "gallows" or "tree" (עץ , <i> ''''' ‛ēc ''''' </i> ) was a stake for the purpose of impaling the victim. It could be lowered for this purpose, then raised "fifty cubits high" to arrest the public gaze. The Greek word used in Matthew 27:5 is ἀπάγχεσθαι , <i> ''''' apágchesthai ''''' </i> , "to strangle oneself." See <i> HDB </i> , article "Hanging," for an exhaustive discussion. </p> | |||
