1 | can sepulchres be burned? | Bible general Archive 1 | childoftheking | 38988 | ||
Hi tom, I'm not sure what you mean by "burned the sepulchures". "Sepulchure or tombs of the Hebrews were generally excavated in the solid rock, or were natural caves." Easton's Bible Dictionary Sepulchure: "A natural cave enlarged and adapted by excavation, or an artificial imitation of one was the standard type of sepulchre." Smith's bible Dictionary. 2chron 16:14 "...they made a very great burning for him(Asa)" KJV "According to some, for consuming the spices. According to others, it was a magnificent pile for the cremation of the corpse--a usage which was at that time, and long after, prevalent among the Hebrews, and the omission of which in the case of royal personages was reckoned a great indignity."
