                                   "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.
