Deuteronomy 21:23 in other translations
His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
you 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.
his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God. Don’t defile your land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.

In context
20 and shall say unto the elders of his city: This our son, is rebellious and insulting,—he will not hearken unto our voice,—a glutton and a tippler.
21 Then shall all the men of his city stone him with stones that he die, so shalt thou consume the wicked thing out of thy midst,—and, all Israel, shall hear and fear.
22 But when there shall be in any man a sin worthy of death and he is to be put to death,—and thou shalt hang him on a tree,
23 his dead body shall not remain all night upon the tree but thou shalt bury, him on the same day, for a reproach unto God, is he that is hanged,—so shalt thou not make unclean thy soil which Yahweh thy God is giving unto thee for an inheritance.
