Cemetery

David...fell asleep, and was laid unto his fathers... Acts 13:36

"The etymology of our English word “cemetery” is instructive.

Cemetery comes from the Greek a word, koimeterion, which is derived from the very same Greek word for sleep, koimao, in the passages -(Matthew 27:52, John 11:11, Acts 13:36, I Cor. 15:20, I Cor 15:51 and I Thess. 4:14). 

So, in both English and in Biblical Greek, cemetery means “sleeping place”, much as the word “dormitory” is from the Latin word for sleep." John Anderson/Fulcrum7
