It is used in the New Testament to denote the physical location where a body is laid to rest. The word emphasizes the act of remembering the deceased, as it is derived from the verb meaning "to remember."<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Jewish culture, burial practices were significant, as they reflected beliefs about death and the afterlife. Tombs were often carved out of rock and could be elaborate, especially for the wealthy or prominent individuals. The act of burial was not only a means of honoring the deceased but also a way to ensure ritual purity for the living. The concept of a tomb as a place of remembrance is deeply rooted in Jewish tradition, where the memory of the deceased was preserved through burial practices and memorials.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3418</b> <i>mnḗma</i> (a neuter noun derived from <a href="/greek/3415.htm">3415</a> <i>/mnáomai</i>, "to remember") – the generic term for "<i>tomb</i>." <a href="/greek/3418.htm">3418</a> <i>/mnḗma</i> ("tomb") is simply an identifiable sepulcher (the resting place of an individual). </p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3415.htm">mnaomai</a> (in the sense of to be mindful of)<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a memorial, a sepulcher<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>tomb (7), tombs (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3418: μνῆμα</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">μνῆμα</span></span>, <span class="greek2">μνήματος</span>, <span class="greek2">τό</span> (<span class="greek2">μνάομαι</span>, perfect passive <span class="greek2">μέμνημαι</span>); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> <span class="accented">a monument or memorial</span> to perpetuate the memory of any person or thing (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Pindar</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> <span class="accented">a sepulchral monument</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Homer</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Plato</span>, others). <p><span class="textheading">3.</span> <span class="accented">a sepulchre or tomb</span> (receptacle where a dead body is deposited (cf.
