"Sheol". Hebrew, Sheől.
This
Is Appendix 35 From The Companion Bible.
The
first occurrence of this word is in Genesis 37:35, where it is
rendered
"grave". It occurs sixty-five times in the Hebrew of the
Old
Testament; and only by studying each passage by itself can the
student
hope to gather the Biblical usage of the word. All heathen
or
traditional usages are not only worthless, but mischievous. The
following
are all the passages where the word "Sheol" occurs, with
the
rendering in each passage indicated thus:
1. = grave, 2. = pit, 3. = hell.

grave, or burying-place (from kabar,
to bury, first occurrence
Genesis
23:4): and bőr, a pit, generally hewn
in the rock, hence used
of
a cistern (Genesis 37:20) or a
dugeon, and etc., when dry. (See
note
below on the word "well" in Genesis 21:19.)
Note on Genesis 21:19.

a cistern (hewn).
