The curse absorbed
Galatians 3:13
Paul lands Deuteronomy 21:23 on the cross, word for word — 'cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree (ξύλον).'
13Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:
A voice from the tradition
Witness
He was made a curse for us, that he might redeem us from the curse of the law; being made sin for us, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
