[Vers. 59 60.] VERS. 59, 60. And when JOSEPH had taken the body, he wrapped it in a cleane linnen cloth, and laid it in his owne new tombe, which he had hewed out in the rocke, and he rolled a great stone to the dore of the Sepulchre, and departed.

For the understanding of these two verses, we must observe, That as often as the Jewes buried any, they were wont to role a great stone to the mouth of the Cave: and now the cave or vault it selfe they termed from the act of buriall, Keber, which sig••ifieth a place of buriall; or from its forme, Magnara, a denne, or Cave. The severall cels or receptacles in which the body was laid, they called Cucim, graves, or tombes, and the stone they named Golel, a rolling stone. These Caves or vaults the wealthier sorts would paint, garnish, and beau∣tifie at the mouth or entrance of them: whence commeth that phrase, Sepulchra dealbata, pain∣ted tombes.
