of a burying place
Physical place where a human body is interred after death; specifically, a grave, burial place, or tomb. In biblical contexts, denotes a marked or unmarked location—often a pit, cave, or constructed chamber—serving as the final resting place for the deceased, either individually or as a family unit. The term's semantic range includes usage for simple individual graves, family burial caves, and at times more monumental tombs, though rarely denoting lavish built mausolea.
