Strong's Lexicon mnémeion: Tomb, grave, sepulcher Original Word: μνημεῖον Word Origin: Derived from μνῆμα (mnēma), which means "a memorial" or "a remembrance." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in the Old Testament is קֶבֶר (qeber), which also means grave or tomb. Usage: The term μνημεῖον is used in the New Testament to refer to a burial place or a tomb. It is often associated with the burial sites of individuals, particularly in the context of Jesus' burial and resurrection. The word emphasizes the physical location where a body is laid to rest, often carved out of rock or constructed as a monument. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, tombs were typically hewn out of rock and sealed with a large stone. They were often located outside city walls to avoid ritual impurity. Wealthier individuals might have family tombs, while others might be buried in communal graves. The practice of using tombs was deeply rooted in Jewish customs, reflecting beliefs about death, burial, and the afterlife.
