in grave
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.

| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְ ("in") + masculine singular noun in construct state from קבר. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun קֶבֶר derives from the root meaning "to bury" and denotes the place resulting from burial. The prefixed בְ means "in," and the masculine singular construct form requires the sense "grave of," indicating possession or specification. |
