In the [[Old Testament]], the place where the dead go is sometimes called “grave” (Hebrew: שְׁאוֹל,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/lexicons/eng/hebrew/7585.html |title=Strong's #7585 - שְׁאֹל |website=Study Light }}</ref> Greek: ᾅδης [Hades]). The primary meaning of grave is subterranean, that is, underground. When Korah and his followers rebelled against [[Moses]] and [[Aaron]] in the [[Life in Desert|desert]], God opened the earth to swallow them. It is written in the Bible that they went down into the grave.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Numbers+16%3A32-33&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Numbers 16:32–33 |publisher= }}</ref> | In the [[The Old Testament|Old Testament]], the place where the dead go is sometimes called “grave” (Hebrew: שְׁאוֹל,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/lexicons/eng/hebrew/7585.html |title=Strong's #7585 - שְׁאֹל |website=Study Light }}</ref> Greek: ᾅδης [Hades]).

When a person dies, he is usually buried in the ground, so the grave symbolizes death and the tomb. For this reason, the words hell and death are normally used together.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=2+Samuel+22%3A6&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=2 Samuel 22:6 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Psalms+116%3A3&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Psalms 116:3 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Hosea+13%3A14&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Hosea 13:14 |publisher= }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Psalms+49%3A14&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Psalms 49:14 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Isaiah+14%3A11&OLWordSearchRange=beg&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Isaiah 14:11 }}</ref> The writer of [[Book of Psalms|Psalms]] also referred to grave as the “land of oblivion” because people are forgotten by the living once they die.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.studylight.org/study-desk.html?q1=Psalms+88%3A10-12&q2=&ss=0&t1=eng_n84&t2=eng_kjv&t3=eng_nas&ns=0&sr=1&ot=bhs&nt=wh&hv1=1&b=verse&d=3 |title=Psalms 88:10–12 |publisher= }}</ref> | When a person dies, he is usually buried in the ground, so the grave symbolizes death and the tomb.
