Dict: easton - Arimathea



easton:



Arimathea @ a "city of the Jews" kjv@Luke:23:51), the birth-place of Joseph in whose sepulchre our Lord was laid kjv@Matthew:27:57 kjv@Matthew:27:60 kjv@John:19:38). It is probably the same place as Ramathaim in Ephraim, and the birth-place of Samuel ( kjv@1Samuel:1:1 kjv@1Samuel:1:19). Others identify it with Ramleh in Dan, or Rama (q.v.) in Benjamin kjv@Matthew:2:18).
