* Often people bury a dead body by placing it into a deep hole in the ground and then covering it with dirt.
|
||
* Sometimes the dead body is placed in a box-like structure, such as a coffin, before burying it.
|
||
* In Bible times, dead people were often buried in a cave or similar place. After Jesus died, his body was wrapped in cloths and placed in a stone tomb that was sealed with a large boulder.
|
||
* The terms “burial place” or “burial room” or “burial chamber” or “burial cave” always refer to a place where a dead body is buried.
|
||
* Other things can also be buried, such as when Achan buried silver and other things that he had stolen from Jericho.
|
||
* The phrase “buried his face” usually means “covered his face with his hands.”
|
||
* Sometimes the word “hide” can mean “bury” as when Achan hid things in the ground that he had stolen from Jericho. This meant he buried them in the ground.
