<p> <b> ARIMATHaeA </b> <b> ( </b> Ἁριμαθαία) is mentioned in &nbsp;Matthew 27:57, &nbsp;Mark 15:43, &nbsp;Luke 23:51, and &nbsp;John 19:38 as the place from which Joseph, who buried the body of Jesus, came up to Jerusalem. In the <i> Onomasticon </i> (225. 12) it is identified with Ἁρμαθὲμ Σειφά (Ramathaimzophim* [Note: On this name (which is almost certainly based on a textual corruption), see Hastings’ DB, vol. iv. p. 198a note.] ), the city of [[Elkanah]] and Samuel (&nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1), near Diospolis (Lydda) and in the district of [[Timnah]] (Tibneh). In &nbsp;1 [[Maccabees]] 11:34, [[Ramathem]] is referred to along with [[Aphaerema]] and [[Lydda]] as a [[Samaritan]] toparchy transferred, in 145 b.c., to Judaea. These notices of [[Ramathaim]] point to <i> Beit-Rima </i> , 13 miles E.N.E. of Lydda, and 2 miles N. of Timnah,—an identification adopted by G. A. Smith ( <i> HGH </i> L [Note: GHL [[Historical]] Geog. of [[Holy]] Land.] 254 n. [Note: note.] 7) and [[Buhl]] ( <i> GA </i> P [Note: AP Geographic des alten Palästina.] 170). Another possible site is <i> Râm-allah </i> , 3 miles S.W. of Bethel, suggested by Ewald ( <i> Hist. </i> ii. 421). The proposed sites S. of [[Jerusalem]] are not ‘in the hill-country of Ephraim’ (&nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1). If Arimathaea, then, be identified with the Ramathaim of Elkanah, it may well be at the modern hill-village of <i> Beit-Rima </i> . The LXX [[Septuagint]] form of Ramathaim is Ἁρμαθαίμ (&nbsp;1 Samuel 1:1 and elsewhere), thus providing a link between Ramathaim and [[Arimathaea.]] </p> <p> A. W. Cooke. </p>

Arimathaea [1]

ar - i - ma - thē´a ( Ἀριμαθαία , Arimathaı́a ): "A city of the Jews," the home of Joseph in whose sepulchre the body of Jesus was laid. Its identity is the subject of much conjecture. The Onomasticon of Eusebius and Jerome identifies it with Ramathaim-Zophim in the hill-country of Ephraim (  1 Samuel 11:1-15 ), which is Ramah the birthplace and burial-place of Samuel ( 1 Samuel 1:19;  1 Samuel 25:1 ), and places it near Timnah on the borders of Judah and Dan. G. A. Smith thinks it may be the modern Beit Rima, a village on an eminence 2 miles North of Timnah. Others incline to Ramallah, 8 miles North of Jerusalem and 3 miles from Bethel ( Matthew 27:57;  Mark 15:43;  Luke 23:51;  John 19:38 ).
