* 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.
