Thank you so much for bringing clarity to key words of scripture. The original words seem to be much richer in meaning validating the original inspired Word of GOD.

Thank you for the explanation and clarity of these words. Looking forward to more of these insights and other issues relative to understanding the ancient and modern culture and literature of the Bible.
God bless you.

We just read Jonah, and I have this picture of Sheol being opposite samiyam (heavens)—not just the “underworld” which I believe is more Greek; but a dark, unseeable, suffocating, and unlivable environment. Think of our innate fear of being buried alive—it doesn’t matter if it’s in the ground, or under dark water: the fear is the same. It is a place where life does not happen—unlike the heavens.
