this Hell for them they would have Job asking to go to Hell for relief from his
sufferings. "There is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man" [Job 1:8]
asking to go to "Hell" to escape his sufferings. Those who believe in Hell teach the
sufferings in it are much worse than anything in this life. Job certainly would not have
wanted to escape from the painful time he was having by going to a place much more
painful, a place where there would be no end to suffering. "Why died I not from the
womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me? Why did the knees
receive me, or why the breasts, that I should suck? For now should I have lain down and
been quiet; I would have slept; then had I been at rest ... There the wicked cease from
troubling: and there the weary are at rest" [Job 3:11-17]. Beyond any doubt, Job did not
know about or believe in Hell as it is taught today. Job did not want to go to today's Hell
and be tormented; he wanted to go the "grave" to avoid the torment he was in. WHY IS
IT THAT NO PREACHER WHO BELIEVES IN "HELL" NEVER SPEAKS OF
"HELL" IN THE WAY JOB DID? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, SHEOL DID NOT
MEAN A PLACE OF TORMENT, BUT A PLACE OF REST, AND THOSE WHO
PREACH "HELL FIRE" TODAY JUST DO NOT BELIEVE JOB.
(6) Job 17:13 "If I wait, the GRAVE [sheol-Hell] is my house: I have made my bed in
darkness. I have said to corruption, you are my father: to the worm, you are my mother,
and my sister. And where is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it? They shall go
down to the bars of the PIT [sheol-Hell], when our rest together is in the dust." It was
clear even to the King James translators that Job was not saying Hell was gong to be his
bed. He gives a description of the corruption and maggots of the grave. An undeniable
statement that the grave was to be his house, not Heaven, Hell, or Abraham's bosom; he
had no thought of being eternally tortured in the Dark Age Hell, but all of both the good
and the bad are resting together in the dust. Death is never said to be a gateway to
Heaven. It is described as a place of darkness and forgetfulness. In the same passage they
translated the same word, sheol, into both grave and pit.
• Verse 13: "If I wait, the GRAVE [sheol-Hell] is my HOUSE" A house is an abode,
not a place of torment.
• Verse 13: "I have made my BED in DARKNESS." The darkness of the grave. Is a
place of fire or darkness?
• Verse 14: "I have said to CORRUPTION, you are my father." Corruption is in the
grave.
• Verse 14: "To the WORM, you are my mother, and my sister." The worms that eat
dead bodies are in the grave.
• Verse 16: "They shall go down to the bars of the PIT [sheol-Hell], when our
REST together IS IN THE DUST." There is no rest in the "Hell" that is taught
today, and I know of none that think "Hell" is in the dust of the earth [Job 17:13-
16].

(7) Psalms 30:3 "O lord, you have brought up my soul from the GRAVE [sheol-Hell]:
you have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit." David was not saying he
had been dead and his soul was in Hell. God had saved him from his foes and death,
therefore, saved him from going to the grave. He did not come back from Hell. He was
expressing his gratitude for his recovery, not being brought back from Heaven or Hell.
"You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit" and "you have brought up
my soul from the grave" is Hebrew dualism where the same thing is said in two ways. In
verse nine David said, “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Will the
dust praise you? Will it declare Your fullness?” The dust of the dead is in the grave. This
is Hebrew dualism where the same thing is said in two ways. David who was not dead
but was giving thinks to God for saving him and keeping him alive said:
• “O lord, you have brought up my soul from the GRAVE [sheol]”
• “You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the PIT [bohr]”
Grave [sheol] and pit [bohr] are parallel. What is the meaning of pit [bohr] in the Old
Testament; it is used 69 times and in the King James Version is translated: pit 42 times,
dungeon 13 times, well 9 times, cistern 4 times and fountain 1 time. All except maybe
fountain, which would have been better translated well or cistern, means a hole in the
ground does; (a grave, pit or well which was dug by man or a natural pit - hole) not a
place where an immaterial, invisible something that is in a person would go down to, and
not a chamber someplace under ground where all souls are kept together unto the
resurrection are a chamber that has two sides, one side for the saved and one side for the
lost.
PIT (bohr), which is used in Hebrew parallelism or dualism as being parallel to in
meaning to GRAVE (sheol) is a hole in the ground and was a pit or will that was
sometimes dug by man.

In Psalms 30:9 David spoke of going down to the pit, but used ghath, which is
translated much the same way as bohr, pit 13 times, ditch 2 times, grave 1 time,
corruption 4 times and destruction 2 times in the King James Version.

1. “That I should not go down to the PIT (bohr)” verse 2
2. “You have brought up my soul (Nshahmah – life) from the GRAVE [sheol]” verse

3. “When I go down to the PIT (ghath)” verse 9
Sheol, bohr and ghath are also used by in Isaiah 38:17-18:
• “Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but you have in love to my soul
(Nshahmah – life) delivered it from the PIT (ghath) of corruption:
• for you have cast all my sins behind your back. For the GRAVE (sheol) cannot
praise you, death cannot celebrate you:
• they that go down into the PIT (bohr) cannot hope for your truth”
His life was delivered from the pit of corruption, the grave for the grave cannot praise
God; the pit of corruption and the grave are the same, corruption is in the grave but there
could be no corruption in a chamber someplace under ground where an immaterial,
incorruptible part of persons were stored.
“Yet shall you plunge me in the DITCH (ghath)” Job 9:21
“I have said to CORRUPTION (ghath), you are my father” Job 17:14
“Deliver him form going down in the PIT (ghath)” Job 33:28
“Is fallen into the DITCH (ghath)” Psalms 7:15
“Down into the PIT of destruction (ghath)” Psalms 55:23
“Soul” as it is used today (an immaterial immortal part of a person) would have no
need to be delivered from the pit or corruption, the grave which is would never be in and
it would not be subject to corruption.
Summery: Bohr is used in Hebrew parallelism or dualism as being parallel to in
meaning to grave (sheol) is a hole in the ground and was sometimes dug by man.
Bohr and ghath are a pit, dungeon or well, a real place on this earth that the living can go
down into and come up out of as Joseph when he was cast into a pit, or dead persons as
David was asking God not to let him die or be killed and go down to the pit; they are not
a place where bodiless souls are put; they are not a subterranean chamber someplace
under ground where all immaterial, bodiless,
sufferings. "There is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man" [Job 1:8]
asking to go to "Hell" to escape his sufferings. Those who believe in Hell teach the
sufferings in it are much worse than anything in this life. Job certainly would not have
wanted to escape from the painful time he was having by going to a place much more
painful, a place where there would be no end to suffering. "Why died I not from the
womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me? Why did the knees
receive me, or why the breasts, that I should suck? For now should I have lain down and
been quiet; I would have slept; then had I been at rest ... There the wicked cease from
troubling: and there the weary are at rest" [Job 3:11-17]. Beyond any doubt, Job did not
know about or believe in Hell as it is taught today. Job did not want to go to today's Hell
and be tormented; he wanted to go the "grave" to avoid the torment he was in. WHY IS
IT THAT NO PREACHER WHO BELIEVES IN "HELL" NEVER SPEAKS OF
"HELL" IN THE WAY JOB DID? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE, SHEOL DID NOT
MEAN A PLACE OF TORMENT, BUT A PLACE OF REST, AND THOSE WHO
PREACH "HELL FIRE" TODAY JUST DO NOT BELIEVE JOB.
(6) Job 17:13 "If I wait, the GRAVE [sheol-Hell] is my house: I have made my bed in
darkness. I have said to corruption, you are my father: to the worm, you are my mother,
and my sister. And where is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it? They shall go
down to the bars of the PIT [sheol-Hell], when our rest together is in the dust." It was

Heaven. It is described as a place of darkness and forgetfulness. In the same passage they
translated the same word, sheol, into both grave and pit.
• Verse 13: "If I wait, the GRAVE [sheol-Hell] is my HOUSE" A house is an abode,
not a place of torment.
• Verse 13: "I have made my BED in DARKNESS." The darkness of the grave. Is a
place of fire or darkness?
• Verse 14: "I have said to CORRUPTION, you are my father." Corruption is in the
grave.
• Verse 14: "To the WORM, you are my mother, and my sister." The worms that eat
dead bodies are in the grave.
• Verse 16: "They shall go down to the bars of the PIT [sheol-Hell], when our
REST together IS IN THE DUST." There is no rest in the "Hell" that is taught
today, and I know of none that think "Hell" is in the dust of the earth [Job 17:13-
16].

Sheol, bohr and ghath are also used by in Isaiah 38:17-18:
