    Dictionary Summary: A “city of the Jews” ([Luke 23:51](/luke#Luke.23.51)), the birth-place of Joseph in whose sepulchre our Lord was laid ([Matt. 27:57](/matt#Matt.27.57), [60](/matt#Matt.27.60); [John 19:38](/john#John.19.38)). It is probably the same place as Ramathaim in Ephraim, and the birth-place of Samuel ([1 Sam. 1:1](/1sam#1Sam.1.1), [19](/1sam#1Sam.1.19)). Others identify it with Ramleh in Dan, or Rama (q.v.) in Benjamin ([Matt. 2:18](/matt#Matt.2.18)). 2
