MONUMENT . Isaiah 65:4 , ‘which remain among the graves and lodge in the monuments,’ that is, among the tombs. In the Rhemish Version ‘monument’ is the usual word for tomb or sepulchre, after Vulg. [Note: Vulgate.] monumentum . The reference in Is. is to the custom of obtaining oracles by incubation, that is, spending the night in subterranean sacred places.
