לֹא־תָלִ֨ין נִבְלָת֜וֹ עַל־הָעֵ֗ץ כִּֽי־קָב֤וֹר תִּקְבְּרֶ֙נּוּ֙ בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא כִּֽי־קִלְלַ֥ת אֱלֹהִ֖ים תָּל֑וּי וְלֹ֤א תְטַמֵּא֙ אֶת־אַדְמָ֣תְךָ֔ אֲשֶׁר֙ יְהוָ֣ה אֱלֹהֶ֔יךָ נֹתֵ֥ן לְךָ֖ נַחֲלָֽה׃ (ס)
Huwag mong hayaang magdamag ang kanyang bangkay sa kahoy, kundi tiyak na ililibing mo siya sa araw ding iyon, sapagkat ang ibinitin ay kahihiyan sa Diyos; at huwag mong dungisan ang iyong lupa na ibinibigay sa iyo ng Walang-Hanggan na iyong Diyos bilang mana.
Sha'arei Teshuvah
“You must not leave over his corpse on the stake overnight” (Deuteronomy 21:23). One who leaves over his dead [relative] overnight transgresses a negative commandment, unless he leaves him over for [the sake of] his honor.”
