# tomb, grave, burial place #
|
|
|
|
## Definition: ##
|
|
|
|
The terms "tomb" and "grave" refer to a place where people put the body of a person who has died. A "burial place" is a more general term that also refers to this.
|
|
|
|
* The Jews sometimes used natural caves as tombs, and sometimes they dug caves into rock in the side of a hill.
|
|
* In New Testament times, it was common to roll a large, heavy stone in front of the opening of a tomb in order to close it.
|
|
* If the word for a tomb or a grave can only refer to a hole in which the body is placed below the ground, other ways to translate this could include, "cave" or "hole in the side of a hill."
|
|
* The phrase "the grave" is often used generally and figuratively to refer to the condition of being dead or a place where the souls of dead people are.
