Exegesis
The infinitive absolute kabor{קָב֤וֹר | qā-vôr} intensifies the Qal imperfect tikberennu{תִּקְבְּרֶ֙נּוּ֙ | tiq-bə-rē-nû} ‘you shall bury him’ in the temporal bayom hahu{בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא | ba-yôm hā-hû} ‘that day’.
In context — Deuteronomy 21:23
You shall not leave his corpse overnight upon the tree, but you must surely bury him that same day, for the one who is hanged is cursed by God; and you shall not defile your land which the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
