| | Sheol |
 | | Sheol, the term in Hebrew means a grave or pit, was the place where the dead gathered, as thought by the early Hebrews, and was believed located beneath the earth, perhaps at the roots of mountains. |
 | | And Moses speaking to the congregation said if the Lord makes a new thing, and the earth opens her mouth to swallow them up, with all that appertains unto them, and they go down alive into sheol; then you will understand that these men have provoked the Lord (Numbers 16:30). |
 | | Thus said the Lord God, In the day he went down to sheol, I caused a mourning; I covered the deep for him, and I restrained its floods, and the waters were stayed; and I caused Lebanon to morn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. |
