What is Arimathea?
ARIMATHE'A
(heights), a town in Judaea, and the home of Joseph, who begged the body of Jesus. Matt 27:57; Mark 15:43; Luke 23:51; John 19:38. An old tradition places it at the modern Ramleh, but this is generally discredited. Some identify it with Ramah; others, with less probability, with Renthieh, 10 miles east of Joppa. See Ramah.
