Halakhah for Sanhedrin 90:11
שאני התם דאמר קרא מות יומת
But must [every] verse be [carried out] as written? Has it not been taught: 'He that smote him shall surely be put to death, he is a murderer?<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. XXXV, 21, ');"><sup>20</sup></span> I only know that he may be executed with the death that is decreed for him.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., decapitation by the sword. ');"><sup>21</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
To hang one who is liable for hanging: That we were commanded to hang one who is liable for hanging by the court. And it is known that all those who are hung are first stoned. And about this it is stated (Deuteronomy 21:22), "and you shall hang him on a pole." And the law of hanging is with a blasphemer and one who worships idolatry only - like the words of the sages in the chapter [entitled] Nigmar HaDin (Sanhedrin 45b), who argue against that [position] of Rabbi Eliezer, who says [that] all those who are stoned are hung.
