     * he that is hanged is accursed of God.  Heb. the curse of God.
       That is, it is the highest degree of reproach that can attach
       to a man, and proclaims him under the curse of God as much as
       any external punishment can.  They that see him thus hanging
       between heaven and earth, will conclude him abandoned of both,
       and unworthy of either.  Bp. Patrick observes, that this
       passage is applied to the death of Christ; not only because he
       bare our sins and was exposed to shame, as these malefactors
       were that were accursed of God, but because he was in the
       evening taken down from the cursed tree and buried, (and that
       by the particular care of the Jews, with an eye to this law,
       Joh 19:31,) in token, that now the guilt being removed, the
       law was satisfied, as it was when the malefactors had hanged
       till sun-set:  it demanded no more.  Then he, and those that
       are his, ceased to be a curse.  And as the land of Israel was
       pure and clean when the body was buried, so the church is
       washed and cleansed by the complete satisfaction which Christ
       thus made.
