birdvet The Hebrew word for hell is Sheol. Since the old testament is written in Hebrew that is how you will find it. Here are the direct references. Many times the writers said things like place of punishment or 2 Samuel 22:6 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. Job 11:8 They are higher than heaven--what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know? Job 17:16 Will they go down to the gates of Sheol? Shall we have rest together in the dust?" Job 26:6 Sheol is naked before Him, And Destruction has no covering. Psalm 16:10 For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, Nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. Psalm 18:5 The sorrows of Sheol surrounded me; The snares of death confronted me. Psalm 86:13 For great is Your mercy toward me, And You have delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol. Psalm 116:3 The pains of death surrounded me, And the pangs of Sheol laid hold of me; I found trouble and sorrow. Proverbs 1:12 Let us swallow them alive like Sheol, And whole, like those who go down to the Pit; Isaiah 5:14 Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself And opened its mouth beyond measure; Their glory and their multitude and their pomp, And he who is jubilant, shall descend into it. Isaiah 14:11 Your pomp is brought down to Sheol, And the sound of your stringed instruments; The maggot is spread under you, And worms cover you.' Isaiah 14:15 Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol, To the lowest depths of the Pit. Isaiah 28:15 Because you have said, "We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we are in agreement. When the overflowing scourge passes through, It will not come to us, For we have made lies our refuge, And under falsehood we have hidden ourselves." Isaiah 28:18 Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand; When the overflowing scourge passes through, Then you will be trampled down by it. Isaiah 38:10 I said, "In the prime of my life I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the remainder of my years." Isaiah 38:18 For Sheol cannot thank You, Death cannot praise You; Those who go down to the pit cannot hope for Your truth. Isaiah 57:9 You went to the king with ointment, And increased your perfumes; You sent your messengers far off, And even descended to Sheol. Jonah 2:2 And he said: "I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice. Here is another list but includes references like place of punishment or hell Deuteronomy 32:22 2 Samuel 22:6 Job 11:8 Job 17:16 Job 26:6 Psalm 9:17 Psalm 16:10 Psalm 18:5 Psalm 55:15 Psalm 86:13 Psalm 116:3 Psalm 139:8 Proverbs 5:5 Proverbs 7:27 Proverbs 9:18 Proverbs 15:11 Proverbs 15:24 Proverbs 23:14 Proverbs 27:20 Isaiah 5:14 Isaiah 14:9 Isaiah 14:15 Isaiah 28:15 Isaiah 28:18 Isaiah 57:9 Ezekiel 31:16 Ezekiel 32:21 Ezekiel 32:27 Amos 9:2 Jonah 2:2 Habakkuk 2:5 EdB |
