arimathea |
2 definitions found From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Arimathea a "city of the Jews" (Luke 23:51), the birth-place of Joseph in whose sepulchre our Lord was laid (Matt. 27:57, 60; John 19:38). It is probably the same place as Ramathaim in Ephraim, and the birth-place of Samuel (1 Sam. 1:1, 19). Others identify it with Ramleh in Dan, or Rama (q.v.) in Benjamin (Matt. 2:18). From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]: Arimathea, a lion dead to the Lord
