KnoWhy Videos | 01 min
"And their leader, Zemnarihah, was taken and hanged upon a tree ... and when they had hanged him until he was dead they did fell the tree to the earth."
3 Nephi 4:28
Cutting down a tree after hanging someone on it may seem odd, however, evidence from Jewish law sources suggests this detail was an important ritual for cleansing the community. The Nephites cut down the tree on which the robber had been hung, showing their strict observance of the Law of Moses.
