BURIAL, SEPULCHRES - B>@ - TOMBS On this subject we have to notice
The place of burial, its site and shape; The mode of burial; The prevalent notions regarding this duty. A natural cave enlarged and adapted by excavation, or an artificial imitation of one was the standard type of sepulchre. Sepulchres, when the owner’s means permitted it, were commonly prepared beforehand, and stood often in gardens, by roadsides, or even adjoining houses. Kings and prophets alone were probably buried within towns. (Kings:2:10; 16:6,28) Cities soon became populous and demanded cemeteries, kjv@Ezekiel:39:15) which were placed without the walls. Sepulchres were marked sometimes by pillars or by pyramids. Such as were not otherwise noticeable were scrupulously "whited," kjv@Matthew:23:27) once a year, after the rains before the passover, to warn passers-by of defilement. "The manner of the Jews" included the use of spices, where they could command the means. ( kjv@2Chronicles:16:10) A portion of these was burnt in honor of the deceased, and to this use was probably destined part of the one hundred pounds weight of "myrrh and aloes" in our Lord’s case. In no instance, save that of Saul and his sons, were the bodies burned; and even then the bones were interred, and re-exhumed for solemn entombment. It was the office of the next of kin to perform and preside over the whole funeral office; though public buriers were not unknown in New Testament times. kjv@Acts:5:6 kjv@Acts:5:10) The body was borne by the nearest relatives. The grave-clothes were probably of the fashion worn in life, but swathed and fastened with bandages, and the head covered separately. The precedent of Jacob’s and Joseph’s remains being returned to the land of Canaan was followed, in wish at least, by every pious Jew.

Burial @ The first burial we have an account of is that of Sarah Genesis:23). The first commercial transaction recorded is that of the purchase of a burial-place, for which Abraham weighed to Ephron "four hundred shekels of silver current money with the merchants." Thus the patriarch became the owner of a part of the land of Canaan, the only part he ever possessed. When he himself died, "his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah," beside Sarah his wife kjv@Genesis:25:9). Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, was buried under Allon-bachuth, "the oak of weeping" kjv@Genesis:35:8), near to Bethel. Rachel died, and was buried near Ephrath; "and Jacob set a pillar upon her grave" (16-20). Isaac was buried at Hebron, where he had died (27, 29). Jacob, when charging his sons to bury him in the cave of Machpelah, said, "There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife; there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife; and there I buried Leah" (49:31). In compliance with the oath which he made him swear unto him (47:29-31), Joseph, assisted by his brethren, buried Jacob in the cave of Machpelah (50:2,13). At the Exodus, Moses "took the bones of Joseph with him," and they were buried in the "parcel of ground" which Jacob had bought of the sons of Hamor kjv@Joshua:24:32), which became Joseph's inheritance kjv@Genesis:48:22; kjv@1Chronicles:5:1; kjv@John:4:5). Two burials are mentioned as having taken place in the wilderness. That of Miriam kjv@Numbers:20:1), and that of Moses, "in the land of Moab" kjv@Deuteronomy:34:5-6, 8). There is no account of the actual burial of Aaron, which probably, however, took place on the summit of Mount Hor kjv@Numbers:20:28-29). Joshua was buried "in the border of his inheritance in Timnath-serah" kjv@Joshua:24:30). In Job we find a reference to burying-places, which were probably the Pyramids (3:14-15). The Hebrew word for "waste places" here resembles in sound the Egyptian word for "pyramids." Samuel, like Moses, was honoured with a national burial ( kjv@1Samuel:25:1). Joab (kjvKings:2:34) "was buried in his own house in the wilderness." In connection with the burial of Saul and his three sons we meet for the first time with the practice of burning the dead ( kjv@1Samuel:31:11-13). The same practice is again referred to by Amos (6:10). Absalom was buried "in the wood" where he was slain ( kjv@2Samuel:18:17-18). The raising of the heap of stones over his grave was intended to mark abhorrence of the person buried (comp. kjv@Joshua:7:26 and 8:29). There was no fixed royal burying-place for the Hebrew kings. We find several royal burials taking place, however, "in the city of David" (kjvKings:2:10; 11:43; 15:8; kjv@2Kings:14:19-20 kjv@2Kings:15:38; kjvKings:14:31; 22:50; kjv@2Chronicals:21:19-20; kjv@2Chronicals:24:25, etc.). Hezekiah was buried in the mount of the sepulchres of the sons of David; "and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death" ( kjv@2Chronicals:32:33). Little is said regarding the burial of the kings of Israel. Some of them were buried in Samaria, the capital of their kingdom ( kjv@2Kings:10:35 kjv@2Kings:13:9 kjv@2Kings:14:16 ). Our Lord was buried in a new tomb, hewn out of the rock, which Joseph of Arimathea had prepared for himself kjv@Matthew:27:57-60; kjv@Mark:15:46; kjv@John:19:41-42). The grave of Lazarus was "a cave, and a stone lay on it" kjv@John:11:38). Graves were frequently either natural caverns or artificial excavations formed in the sides of rocks kjv@Genesis:23:9; kjv@Matthew:27:60); and coffins were seldom used, unless when the body was brought from a distance.
