The Book of Deuteronomy 21:22-23 mentions a verse explaining that cursed is He that Hangs on a Tree, a reference to Jesus Christ:
22 And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree: 23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God;) that thy land be not defiled, which the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance. Deuteronomy 21:22-23.
As the law of God given to Moses called for a man who committed a sin worthy of death to be hanged on a tree, the Lord Jesus Christ took the sins of the world on himself and was crucified on the Cross for the sins of humanity.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5, as the prophet Isaiah would later predict.
Also, three times the Book of Acts refers to Jesus' crucifixion as 'hanging or hanged on a tree': Acts 5:30, 10:39, 13:29 as punishment for a capital crime.
While under the Old Covenant of Moses, a man was worthy of death to be hung on a tree for a capital crime, but under the New Covenant, of Jesus Christ, the sins of humanity are accounted and covered.
In Galatians 3:13, the Apostle Paul references the Deuteronomy 21:22-23 verses:
13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree:
