1 | Strong's Number: g3419 | Greek: mnemeion |
Grave (Noun):
primarily denotes "a memorial" (akin to mnaomai, "to remember"), then, "a monument" (the significance of the word rendered "tombs," AV, "sepulchres," in Luk 11:47), anything done to preserve the memory of things and persons; it usually denotes a tomb, and is translated either "tomb" or "sepulchre" or "grave." Apart from the Gospels, it is found only in Act 13:29. Among the Hebrews it was generally a cavern, closed by a door or stone, often decorated. Cp. Mat 23:29.
See TOMB.
2 | Strong's Number: g3418 | Greek: mnema |
Grave (Noun):
akin to No. 1, like which it signified "a memorial" or "record of a thing or a dead person," then "a sepulchral monument," and hence "a tomb;" it is rendered "graves" in the AV of Rev 11:9 (RV, "a tomb"); "tomb" or "tombs," Mar 5:3, 5 (some mss. have No. 1, as in Mar 15:46, AV, "sepulchre") and Mar 16:2 (AV, "sepulchre"); Luk 8:27; Act 2:29; 7:16 (AV, "sepulchre").
See TOMB.
Note: In 1Cr 15:55, where some texts have "Hades," AV, "grave," the most authentic have thanatos, "death."
