TO HANG — on a tree, on a wall, on nothing. Pharaoh’s baker is hanged (Genesis 40:19), the executed man’s body is hung and must come down by night because one who is hanged is a curse of God (Deuteronomy 21:23, both already on these pages), Absalom hangs in the oak (2 Samuel 18:10), Haman on his own gallows (Esther 7:10), the exiles’ harps on the willows (Psalm 137:2), and the earth on nothing (Job 26:7; none of the last four yet on these pages). ⭐ At Deuteronomy 28:66 it is a life: your life will be hanging before you, the passive participle of the hanged man at 21:23. ⚠ The Douay reads ‘as it were hanging before thee’, the Vulgate’s quasi pendens, and several early Christian writers are reported to have quoted the verse with on a tree added and read it of the crucifixion — reported; the Hebrew has no tree. The KJV and ASV read ‘hang in doubt’, the NIV ‘constant suspense’; the RV60 «como algo que pende». → first discussed at Deut 28:66
