H8518 talah — LXX Mapping

Top Greek equivalents in LXX: - G3586 xylon (11 co-occurrences, PMI 5.33) — note: this is NOT a translation of talah itself but co-occurrence in same verses (LXX uses xylon for ets, the noun paired with talah) - G4983 soma (3 co-occurrences) — "body" — in verses about handling the hanged corpse - The LXX verb for "hang" in Deut 21:23 is κρεμάμενος (kremannymi G2910)

Verification: John 19:31 word choice

Confirmed via greek_parser.py: John 19:31 uses σταυροῦ (stauros G4716), NOT ξύλον (xylon G3586). The complementary distribution holds — John's narrative uses stauros; the curse-invocation passages use xylon.

Verification: Col 2:14 word choice

Confirmed via greek_parser.py: Col 2:14 uses σταυρῷ (stauros G4716). Paul nails the cheirographon to the stauros — legal metaphor, not Deuteronomic curse invocation.

Numbers 25:4 verb distinction

Hebrew parsing confirms: Num 25:4 uses יקע (yaqa', H3363) "expose/impale" in the Hiphil imperative, NOT תלה (talah, H8518) "hang." These are different Hebrew verbs describing different procedures. The Deut 21:22-23 hanging law uses only talah.
