<p> <strong> MONUMENT </strong> . Isaiah 65:4 , ‘which remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments,’ that is, among the tombs. In the Rhemish Version ‘monument’ is the usual word for tomb or sepulchre, after Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] <em> monumentum </em> . The reference in Is. is to the custom of obtaining oracles by incubation, that is, spending the night in subterranean sacred places. </p> | |||

<p> is the incorrect rendering in Isaiah 65:4 for נָצוּר, nzatsur', a guarded place (" hidden thing," as in Isaiah 48:6; elsewhere "besieged," etc.), such as caves (so the Sept. σπήλαιον ), or the adyta or shrines of heathen temples (so the Vulg. delubra), as places of idolatrous or illicit devotion. It was anciently a practice in most nations for persons to resort to the sepulchres for the purpose of magic or necromancy, and this still holds its ground in [[India]] and other Oriental countries. (See [[Superstition]]). </p> <p> In the Apocrypha, "monument" is the correct rendering in [[Wisdom]] of [[Solomon]] 10:7 for μνημεῖον , but inexactly in 1 [[Maccabees]] 13:27 for ᾠκοδόμησε, and in 2 Maccabees 15:6 for τρόπαιον . (See [[Tomb]]). </p> <p> For the monuments of [[Egypt]] and Assyria, see those countries respectively. </p> | |||
