'Corpse' in the Bible
You may not eat any corpse, though you may give it to the resident foreigner who is living in your villages and he may eat it, or you may sell it to a foreigner. You are a people holy to the Lord your God. Do not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
your elders and judges must go out and measure how far it is to the cities in the vicinity of the corpse.
Then the elders of the city nearest to the corpse must take from the herd a heifer that has not been worked -- that has never pulled with the yoke --
and all the elders of that city nearest the corpse must wash their hands over the heifer whose neck was broken in the valley.
If a person commits a sin punishable by death and is executed, and you hang the corpse on a tree,
you are not to leave his corpse on the tree overnight but are to bury him that day, for anyone hung on a tree is under God’s curse. You must not defile the land the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance.
