in the tomb
Physical place where a human body is interred after death; specifically, a grave, burial place, or tomb. In biblical contexts, denotes a marked or unmarked location—often a pit, cave, or constructed chamber—serving as the final resting place for the deceased, either individually or as a family unit. The term's semantic range includes usage for simple individual graves, family burial caves, and at times more monumental tombs, though rarely denoting lavish built mausolea.

in a grave
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ ("in") + masculine singular noun קֶבֶר in construct form; no article; no pronominal suffix. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶבֶר denotes the place resulting from the act of burial, directly reflecting the root meaning "to bury." The prefixed בְּ preposition is rendered "in," and the masculine singular form is preserved as a single grave without specification. |
