In Scripture there are three words so rendered: ( 1.) Sheol, occurring in the Old Testament sixty- five times. This word sheol is derived from a root- word meaning " to ask," " demand;" hence insatiableness ( Prov. 30: 15, 16). It is rendered " grave" thirty- one times ( Gen. 37: 35; 42: 38; 44: 29, 31; 1 Sam. 2: 6, etc.). The Revisers have retained this rendering in the historical books with the original word in the margin, while in the poetical books they have reversed this rule. In thirty- one cases in the Authorized Version this word is rendered " hell," the place of disembodied spirits. The inhabitants of sheol are " the congregation of the dead" ( Prov. 21: 16). It is ( a) the abode of the wicked ( Num. 16: 33; Job 24: 19; Ps. 9: 17; 31: 17, etc.); ( b) of the good ( Ps. 16: 10; 30: 3; 49: 15; 86: 13, etc.). Sheol is described as deep ( Job 11: 8), dark ( 10: 21, 22), with bars ( 17: 16). The dead " go down" to it ( Num. 16: 30, 33; Ezek. 31: 15, 16, 17). ( 2.) The Greek word hades of the New Testament has the same scope of signification as sheol of the Old Testament. It is a prison ( 1 Pet. 3: 19), with gates and bars and locks ( Matt. 16: 18; Rev. 1: 18), and it is downward ( Matt. 11: 23; Luke 10: 15). The righteous and the wicked are separated. The blessed dead are in that part of hades called paradise ( Luke 23: 43). They are also said to be in Abraham' s bosom ( Luke 16: 22). ( 3.) Gehenna, in most of its occurrences in the Greek New Testament, designates the place of the lost ( Matt. 23: 33). The fearful nature of their condition there is described in various figurative expressions ( Matt. 8: 12; 13: 42; 22: 13; 25: 30; Luke 16: 24, etc.). ( See { HINNOM}.) |
