Sheol (Silent Abode / Common Grave)
EN — Transliteration: Shə'ōl
Designates in Hebrew thought the abode of the dead, a dark pit where all deceased descend to sleep silently, with no concept of moral punishment.
The Hebrew Sheol (שאול) is not the hell of medieval Christian mythology. It is the common grave of the dust of the earth, where all sleep the same sleep.
