Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb קָבַר (qābar), which means "to bury."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3418: μνῆμα (mnēma) • Refers to a memorial or a tomb, similar in function to a sepulchre.
• G3419: μνημεῖον (mnēmeion) • Denotes a monument or sepulchre, often used in the New Testament to describe the tomb of Jesus.

These Greek terms are used in the Septuagint and the New Testament to convey similar concepts of burial and sepulchres, reflecting continuity in burial practices and beliefs about the afterlife across the Hebrew and Greek Scriptures.

Usage: The word קְבוּרָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a burial place or grave. It is often associated with the act of burial and the location where the deceased are interred.

Context: • The term קְבוּרָה appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the cultural and religious significance of burial practices in ancient Israel. The act of burial was considered an important duty, reflecting respect for the deceased and adherence to religious customs.
• In Genesis 35:20, the term is used in the context of Rachel's burial: "Jacob set up a pillar on her grave; it marks Rachel’s tomb to this day." This illustrates the practice of marking graves with a monument or pillar, a tradition that underscores the importance of remembering the deceased.
• The concept of קְבוּרָה also appears in discussions of family burial plots, as seen in Genesis 23:4, where Abraham seeks a burial site for Sarah: "I am a foreigner and stranger among you. Sell me a burial site here so I can bury my dead." This passage highlights the significance of securing a permanent resting place for family members.
• The term is further used in prophetic literature, such as in Isaiah 14:19-20, where the dishonor of not receiving a proper burial is emphasized: "But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch... You will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people." This reflects the belief that a proper burial was a mark of honor and dignity.
