μνημεῖον mnēmeîon · G3419 · grave, tomb, monument: μνημεῖον (mnēmeîon, G3419) translates קְבוּרָה (qᵉbûwrâh, H6900) as the physical memorial structure or place marking a burial site, emphasizing the commemorative monument aspect of the sepulchre rather than the abstract act of burial itself.
ταφή taphḗ · G5027 · burial place: ταφή (taphḗ, G5027) ταφή specifically denotes the act of burial itself, whereas קְבוּרָה (qᵉbûwrâh, H6900) קְבוּרָה encompasses both the act of burial and the physical place of burial (burying place, grave, sepulchre); ταφή is thus a narrower procedural term that captures one core sense of the Hebrew lemma's semantic range.

Space002002001017: As the noun for a burial place, the word carries an inherent locative sense of place or site, reflected in its own gloss "burying place" alongside "grave" — a nuance not independently illustrated beyond the physical-site sense already covered by its Tombs domain below.
Tombs001003002010: This is the standard word for a grave or burial place, used of Rachel's grave (Genesis 35:20), the family burial place in Egypt (Genesis 47:30), Moses' unknown grave (Deuteronomy 34:6), and Jehu's burial in the city of David (2 Kings 9:28).
