Topical Encyclopedia

Hanging, as a method of execution or death, is mentioned in several instances within the Bible. It is a form of capital punishment that has been used historically in various cultures, including those depicted in the biblical narrative. The act of hanging is often associated with shame and dishonor, reflecting the gravity of the crime or sin committed by the individual.

Old Testament References

In the Old Testament, hanging is primarily seen as a form of post-mortem humiliation rather than a method of execution. One of the earliest references to hanging is found in the book of Genesis, where Pharaoh's chief baker is hanged after being found guilty of a crime (Genesis 40:19-22). This account illustrates the use of hanging as a means of displaying the consequences of wrongdoing.

Deuteronomy 21:22-23 provides specific instructions regarding the hanging of a criminal: "If a man has committed a sin worthy of death, and he is put to death, and you hang him on a tree, his body must not remain on the tree overnight. You must bury him that same day, for anyone hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance." This passage underscores the belief that hanging is associated with being cursed by God, and it emphasizes the importance of maintaining the sanctity of the land by ensuring the prompt burial of the hanged individual.

The book of Joshua recounts the hanging of the king of Ai and other defeated kings as a demonstration of God's judgment and the fulfillment of His promises to Israel (Joshua 8:29; 10:26-27). These acts served as a public display of divine justice and a warning to others.

New Testament References

In the New Testament, the most significant reference to hanging is the death of Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus. Matthew 27:5 states, "So Judas threw the silver into the temple and left. Then he went away and hanged himself." Judas's hanging is depicted as an act of despair and remorse, highlighting the severe consequences of his betrayal.

The apostle Paul, in Galatians 3:13 , references the Deuteronomic law regarding hanging to explain the redemptive work of Christ: "Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us. For it is written: 'Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.'" This passage illustrates the theological significance of Christ's crucifixion, drawing a parallel between the curse associated with hanging and the curse borne by Christ on behalf of humanity.

Cultural and Theological Implications

Hanging in the biblical context is often associated with divine judgment and the curse of sin. It serves as a powerful symbol of the consequences of disobedience and the seriousness with which God views sin. The act of hanging, particularly in the case of Christ's crucifixion, also becomes a profound representation of redemption and the breaking of the curse through Jesus's sacrificial death.

Throughout the biblical narrative, hanging is depicted as a means of upholding justice and demonstrating the severity of God's law. It serves as a reminder of the holiness of God and the need for atonement, ultimately pointing to the redemptive work of Christ as the fulfillment of the law and the bearer of the curse for all who believe.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

(as a punishment), a Mark of infamy inflicted on the dead bodies of criminals (Deuteronomy 21:23) rather than our modern mode of punishment. Criminals were first strangled and then hanged (Numbers 25:4; Deuteronomy 21:22). (See 2 Samuel 21:6 for the practice of the Gibeonites.)

Hanging (as a curtain).

(1.) Hebrews masak, (a) before the entrance to the court of the tabernacle (Exodus 35:17); (b) before the door of the tabernacle (26:36, 37); (c) before the entrance to the most holy place, called "the veil of the covering" (35:12; 39:34), as the word properly means.

(2.) Hebrews kelaim, tapestry covering the walls of the tabernacle (Exodus 27:9; 35:17; Numbers 3:26) to the half of the height of the wall (Exodus 27:18; Comp. 26:16). These hangings were fastened to pillars.

(3.) Hebrews bottim (2 Kings 23:7), "hangings for the grove" (R.V., "for the Asherah"); marg., instead of "hangings," has "tents" or "houses." Such curtained structures for idolatrous worship are also alluded to in Ezek. 16:16.

Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary

HANGING

hang'-ing (talah, "to hang up," "suspend," 2 Samuel 21:12 Deuteronomy 28:66 Job 26:7 Psalm 137:2 Songs 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; 8:07; 9:13, 14, 25; but probably the "gallows" or "tree" ('ets) 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 apagchesthai, "to strangle oneself." See HDB, article "Hanging," for an exhaustive discussion.
