"a burial" (cp. No. 1, and Eng., "epitaph"), is found in Matthew 27:7 , with eis, "unto," lit. "with a view to a burial (place) for strangers."

see A, No. 1, "to prepare a body for burial," is used of any provision for this purpose, Matthew 26:12; John 19:40 .

occurs in Matthew 8:21,22 , and parallels in Luke; Matthew 14:12; Luke 16:22; Acts 2:29; 5:6,9,10; of Christ's "burial," 1 Corinthians 15:4 .

akin to A. 2, "to bury with, or together" (sun), is used in the metaphorical sense only, of the believer's identification with Christ in His "burial," as set forth in baptism, Romans 6:4; Colossians 2:12 .
