Sheol

In the Hebrew Bible, the place of the dead. The word also suggests the grave, the underworld, and the state of death. Yahweh was the ruler of Sheol, and in some writings premature committal to Sheol was seen as a form of punishment. In later Jewish literature, Sheol is divided into areas for the wicked and the righteous.
