A question about the book of Isaiah and the grave

If you look at the book of Isaiah 38:10-11 and Isaiah 38:17-19 It looks like it mentions the grave more then one time.Just with different words.Why so redundant?:confused:

Are you unsure about if you believe in Soul sleep or heaven right after death?

It mentions the afterlife twice, using the word Sheol, which is translated by Jews as the netherworld. I would not classify this as redundant.

Your right I posted the wrong passage.Here is the one I wanted to show you: Ezekiel 32:18-27.In this passage it mentions hell alot.Is that like the pit(grave)they keep mentioning?In your opinion?

I don't see any mention of "hell" in Ezekiel. I see "tachtiyot" meaning the "under place" and mentions of a pit and of graves, and once (IIRC), of she'ol.

Yeah, the passage is really really death heavy. Sheol and the pit are just two different way of referring to the abode of the dead, or the nether world, which was thought to exist under the earth.

It has been pointed out to you many times that the KJV is not the most reliable translation of the Hebrew Bible. There are many websites on which you can find other translations. Some sites have multiple translations.

Sefaria has the newer Jewish Publication Society translation. Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan’s Torah translation is on the ORT website. The Chabad website has Rabbi A.J.Rosenberg’s translation. The older Jewish Publication Society translation is available on several websites.
