Dungeon[PRISON]
Easton's Bible Dictionary
Different from the ordinary prison in being more severe as a place of punishment. Like the Roman inner prison (
Acts 16:24), it consisted of a deep cell or cistern (
Jeremiah 38:6). To be shut up in, a punishment common in Egypt (
Genesis 39:20;
40:3;
41:10;
42:19). It is not mentioned, however, in the law of Moses as a mode of punishment. Under the later kings imprisonment was frequently used as a punishment (
2 Chronicles 16:10;
Jeremiah 20:2;
32:2;
33:1;
37:15), and it was customary after the Exile (
Matthew 11:2;
Luke 3:20;
Acts 5:18, 21;
Matthew 18:30).
Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary
1. (
