THE WAY SHEOL IS TRANSLATED IN
THE KING JAME VERSION
The only word that is translated Hell in the Old Testament is translated Hell only 31 of the 65 times it is used in the King James Version, and only 19 of the 65 times it is used in the New King James Version. In most cases, the King James translators put the wicked in Hell and the just in the grave even though many Protestants believe the just go directly to Heaven at death, not to sheol. The Hebrew Old Testament has them all in one place, the grave [sheol]. Almost all other translations have removed Hell from the Old Testament [American Standard Version, New American Standard Version, Revised Standard Version, New Revised Standard Version, New International Version and most others], but as long as the King James and New King James Versions are used, those who are new in Christ and those who still need milk and not solid food will be misled by them.
SHEOL IS NOT USED WITH ETERNAL IN ANY OF THE SIXTY-FIVE TIMES IT IS IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, AND THERE IS NO ETERNAL TORMENT IN ANY OF THEM.
• 18 passages with dead nations that no longer existed are spoken of as being in the grave (sheol) Deuteronomy 32:22; Psalms 9:17; Isaiah 5:14; 14:9; 14:11; 14:15; 28:15; 28:18; 57:9; Ezekiel 31:15; 31:16; 31:17; 32:21; 32:27; Hosea 13:14; 13:14; Amos 9:2; Habakkuk 2:5.
• 18 passages with the good in the grave (sheol) Genesis 37:35; 42:38; 44:29; 44:31; 2 Samuel 22:6; Job 14:13; 17:13; Psalms 16:10; 18:5; 30:3; 49:15; 86:13; 88:3; 116:3; 139:8 Isaiah 38:10; 88:10 Jonah 2:2.
• 13 passages with the good and bad together in the grave (sheol) 1 Samuel 2:6; Job 7:9; 11:8; 26:6; Psalms 6:5; 89:48; 141:7; Proverbs 1:12; 30:16; 39:16; Ecclesiastes 9:19; Song Of Solomon 8:6; Isaiah 38:18.
• 16 passages with the bad in the grave (sheol) Numbers 16:30; 16:33; Psalms 55:15; Proverbs 5:5; 7:27; 9:18; 15:14; 15:24; 23:14; 27:20; Psalms 31:17; 49:14; Job 17:16; 21:13; 24:19 1 Kings 2:6; 2:9. Of these 16 passages 8 have the bad in the grave, not Hell and 8 have the bad in Hell, 8 of the 54 times sheol is used
o Sheol is not represented as a place of eternal torment in fire in any of the sixty-five passages, but today Hell always means eternal torment in fire; all that believe the King James Version believe a lie in thirty-one passages.
o Everlasting or eternal is not in any of the sixty-five passages.
THE SIXTY-FIVE TIMES SHEOL IS USED
AS TRANSLATED IN THE KING JAMES VERSION
In the King James Version, three words are translated from one Hebrew word. The thirty-four times it is translated pit and grave give most no problem, but the thirty-one times it is translated Hell does. That the translators of the King James Version translated sheol into Hell less than half the time shows they found it not to fit with their theology. They made one place "sheol" be three different places, grave, pit, and Hell. THEY DID NOT, AND MOST TODAY WHO BELIEVES IN HELL DO NOT BELIEVE THE GRAVE AND HELL TO BE THE SAME PLACE. HOW DID THEY KNOW WHEN THE SAME WORD WAS ONE PLACE (grave) OR WHEN IT WAS ANOTHER PLACE (Hell)? SOME TIMES EVEN WHEN IT IS IN THE SAME PASSAGE, SHEOL WAS MADE TO BE TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLACES. Is it that they could not find a way to put their view, the Protestant view, into the Bible and had to settle for the best they could, even if it was not what they believed, even if it did not always put all the saved in Heaven immediately after death or did not put all the lost immediately in Hell? There is nothing in the Hebrew that would make it mean one place (grave) in one passage and another completely different place (Hell) in another; they picked the passages where they thought they could put their Theology in the Bible and get away with it.
• Sheol is translated pit three times
• Sheol is translated grave thirty-one times
• Sheol is translated Hell thirty-one times

THE THIRTY-ONE "GRAVE" TRANSLATIONS
It is hid from those who use the King James Version that "grave" in these thirty-one passages is the same word that is translated "Hell" in thirty-one passages and “pit” in three passages. Did the translators do this deliberately? THE DEFINITION OF DEATH BY TODAY'S THEOLOGY IS THAT DEATH IS ONLY SEPARATION OF AN IMMORTAL SOUL FROM GOD. IF THAT WERE RIGHT THE SEPARATED SOUL COULD NOT BE IN SHEOL (THE GRAVE) FOR IF IT WERE THEN IT COULD NOT BE IN HELL WHERE THEY BELIEVE IT TO BE. The King James Version used the same word to put the dead in both the grave and Hell at the same time without and before the judgment, and by putting the dead in the grave it destroyed the Protestant view that ALL the dead are in Heaven or Hell and none are in sheol. The American Standard Version and many others left sheol untranslated and put ALL the dead in it with none in Heaven or Hell before the resurrection. The New International Version translated sheol into grave and puts ALL the dead, both the good and the bad together in the grave. I read the Bible for many years without seeing this so I can understand how many read it and cannot see through their theology and see what God has so clearly said that now or at the judgment we can have no excuse for not understanding and believing His word. No excuse for teaching something in His name, which is in opposition to what God did say.

THE THIRTY-ONE "HELL" TRANSLATIONS
In the Hebrew, sheol is a common noun as is grave in English [SHEOL a common noun in Hebrew = GRAVE a common noun in English]. How can a common noun be translated into a proper noun [SHEOL a common noun in Hebrew = HELL a proper noun in English]? It is against all rules of translation to change a common noun into a proper noun. The King James Version left it a common noun thirty-four times, but thirty-one times they changed it into a proper noun. The same word is translated into two common nouns, grave and pit, and one proper noun, Hell. Which one did they think it is, common or proper? How did they know when it is a common noun and when they should change it to a proper noun? They put Hezekiah, a godly king in the grave [Isaiah 38:10 but put the wicked in Hell [Psalm 9:17] despite the fact that God used the same word (sheol-grave) for where both would go after their death. The New American Standard Version did not translate it but used the Hebrew word in the English translation; however, they capitalized it as if it were a proper noun. The New International Version translates the common noun "sheol" into the common noun "grave" sixty times and into the common noun "death" five times and did not capitalized it.
In none of the sixty-five passages where sheol is used is it said to be a place of fire or torment. It is said to be a place of silence and darkness but never fire. Sheol is never used with the word eternal or everlasting, and sheol will be destroyed [Hosea 13:14].

HOW SHEOL IS TRANSLATED ALL SIXTY-FIVE TIMES
IN THE KING JAME VERSION

[1] DOWN INTO A PIT IN THE EARTH (In 3 passages)
(1) Numbers 16:30 "But if the Lord make a new thing, and the earth open her mouth, and swallow them up, with all that appertain unto them. And they go down quick into the PIT [sheol-Hell]." They and all that belong to them fell into the pit in the ground. It is undeniable that the "pit" is a hole in the ground that they fell into. Does anyone think this hole in the ground is Hell? The translators of the King James Version did not seem to. They went down into sheol alive, their earthly bodies alive with all their belongings into the hole in the ground, which was their grave. Can the earthly body go alive to a place for the soul? Can anyone take all their earthly belongings with them to Hell or Heaven? This simply says they were buried alive and all their belongings were buried with them, not that they took their belongings with them to Hell. Physical things, such as all their belongings and weapons of war [Ezekiel 32:26-27] are put in graves, but not in "Hell." Neither could they have taken their things to the bad side of hades that many believe in.
(2) Numbers 16:33 "And the earthed opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. They and all that appertained to them, went down alive into the PIT [sheol-Hell], and the earth closed upon them: and they perished from among the congregation." It was their earthly bodies that went into sheol while they were alive; they had not died at the time the earth closed upon their bodies. Do any that believe in Hell think they went to Hell while their bodies were alive? It was not their immortal souls that went to Hell or to either side of a subterranean chamber under the earth; God called this hole in the ground in which they were buried alive sheol.
(3) Job 17:13-16 "If I wait, the GRAVE [sheol-Hell] is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness...They shall go down to the bars of the PIT [sheol-Hell], when our rest together is in the dust." The dead rest in the dust; both Korah and Job went to sheol, not to Heaven or Hell. The same word in the same context is translated both grave and pit.

[2] THE NATIONS IN SHEOL (In 18 passages)
Nations in the grave in 4 passages
PASSAGES THAT ARE SPEAKING OF THE DESTRUCTION OF NATIONS AND SAY NOTHING ABOUT THE DESTRUCTION INDIVIDUALS, NOTHING ABOUT WHERE ANY INDIVIDUSAL WILL BE AFTER DEATH.
(1) Isaiah 14:11 "Your pomp is brought down to the GRAVE [sheol-Hell], and the noise of your viols: the worm is spread under you, and the worms cover you." In the same context sheol is translated HELL in Isaiah 14:9, GRAVE in Isaiah 14:11, and HELL in Isaiah 14:15 in the King James Version and in all three it is Israel's "taunt against the king of Babylon" [Isaiah 14:4],
