<p> '''''ar''''' -'''''i''''' -'''''ma''''' -'''''thē´a''''' ( Ἀριμαθαία , <i> '''''Arimathaı́a''''' </i> ): "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 <i> Onomasticon </i> 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 ). </p> | |||
