Hi

Jesus died by Hebrew Law, Deuteronomy 21:22-23, Temple Scroll, and Galatians 3:13.

Christianity adopted the cross as the instrument of Jesus’ death in the mid-six-century, attested by scholars, and Catholic’s own encyclopedia, 1913, under cross and crucifix.  This adoption did four things for Christianity.

First, it appeased the new Pagan converts into Christianity, who were allowed to bring their Pagan crosses in to their new religion.  Attested by: … Pagans were received into the churches apart from regeneration by faith, and were permitted largely to retain their pagan signs and symbols. Hence, the Tau or T, in its most frequent form, with the cross-piece lowered, was adopted to stand for the “cross” of Christ.—Vine’s Expository Dictionary of New Testament words.

Second, it allowed the church to distance itself from Jewish tradition that Jesus was stoned to death, and hung on a Tree.  The tree being a Stauros (stake) or ξύλον/xylon aka xulon meaning wood.
Third, It would remove the stigma that Jesus was executed for being a magician, who enticed Israel to apostate.  See Sanhedrin 34a,20.
Fourth, it would remove Jesus from the curse of God!
However, the early church forgot to erase all Christian mention of Jesus being hung on a Tree, which was inline with Jewish tradition!

“Hanging on the Tree” in Jewish Tradition

The Israeli scholar Yigal Yadin, who deciphered and published the Temple Scroll some years ago, changed these presuppositions. Yadin was a renowned archaeologist, general, and politician. When Israeli forces entered the West Bank during the Six-Day War, he ordered a special unit to search the antique dealers in Bethlehem and Hebron to find the scroll he suspected was hidden by one of them. The dealer nicknamed Kando brought forth a nine-meter-long scroll hidden in a box below the floor tiles.

Yadin, and others, have shown that this interpretation of Deuteronomy 21:22-23 by the Temple Scroll reflects Jewish priestly Halakhah (legal interpretation) from the early second century BC, to the fall of the temple. Which ordains that the one who is guilty of national treason or blasphemy shall die by being hanged upon the tree. A sinner of this kind should be killed in the most awesome way, by being hanged on the tree before his people (whom he has betrayed) and before God (whom he has blasphemed). And while he is hanging on the tree he is, according to the word of the Torah, accursed by God and men. Traces of this exegesis are found both in rabbinical literature and early Aramaic translations of the Bible…. https://theologynetwork.uk/think/the-messiah-who-was-cursed-on-a-tree.   

Paul has the last word on being hung on a Tree!  “Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree” Galatians 13:3.
