Hell in Strong's Concordance.

[andrevan]

Hi Everyone

I was wondering if anyone could help me with this question: what is the possible explanation for Dr. Strong inserting the word "hell" in his definitions for "sheol" and "hades" in his concordance? Someone is using these definitions to support their case for hell existing and it got me thinking. Could it be that his concordance is for the King James Version and therefore he is obliged to insert the word "hell" into the definitions?
I welcome any thoughts on this. Thanks.

God bless.

Hi Andrevan,

Here is a portion from Ray's article; Lake of Fire XVI Part B  http://bible-truths.com/lake16-B.html

Strong's definition of qeber gibrah is quite accurate and accords perfectly with the Scriptures. His definition of sheol, however, leaves much to be desired:

"sheol—hades, the world of the dead (as if a subterranean retreat), including its accessories and inmates: grave, hell, pit." "The world of the dead, a subterranean retreat, including its accessories and inmates."

Nowhere is the grave called "a world," and nowhere are there "inmates"—that is living residents in the grave. Strong's word "retreat," however, is interesting. Here's an American Heritage College Dictionary definition of, "retreat, a place affording peace, quite, privacy, or security." Sounds more like a country club in the Caribbean, than the hell of Christendom.

However, the last three words he uses to define sheol—"grave, hell, pit" could all be correct and acceptable if we use and understand "hell" to be only what it was defined as and used as in Old English—"to cover or conceal."

Since Strong defines sheol as hades, let's look at his definition of hades.

"#86. hades, from 1 (as negative particle) and 1492; properly unseen, i.e. 'Hades' or the place (state) of departed souls—hell, grave."

Again, "hell and grave" would be acceptable if we understand "hell" to mean "conceal or cover" rather than, "a place where sinners are tortured with Satan and devils in literal fire for eternity."

The "grave" is the common denominator in all verses regarding sheol. But why didn't the writers use the Hebrew qeber qibrah which most definitely means grave? Why are both terms used if what is always meant is "the grave?"

ANSWER: The Hebrew qeber gibrah always has reference to the geographical location and vessel of internment for the body. For example, is the body buried on the top of a mountain in a cave, down in the valley in the ground, or maybe in a garden in a tomb? The first time qeber qibrah is used in the Scriptures is a perfect example:

"And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave [Heb: qeber qibrah]: that is the pillar of Rachel's grave [qeber qibrah] unto this day" (Gen. 35:20).

Here's another:

"My father made me swear, saying, Lo, I die [am dying] in my grave [Heb: qeber qibrah—grave, sepulcher, burying place or tomb] which I have digged for me in the land of Canaan, THERE shall they bury me" (Gen. 50:5).

Okay then, if the "qeber qibrah—grave" is the location and type of burying place, what does "sheol—grave" mean? Does sheol then fit the description and definition of a grave? Yes, it does, but with an added dimension. The "sheol—grave" addresses not so much the location or type of burying place, but rather the CONDITIONS surrounding the person(s) entombed.

Here are just some of the things associated with sheol as a grave:

darkness, corruption, worms, rest in dust (Job 17:13-16)

down to sheol is DEATH and up from sheol is to MAKE ALIVE (I Sam. 2:6)

a CHANGE must come to live again (Job 14:14)

no thanks in sheol (Psalm 6:5)

it is silent in sheol (Psalm 31:17)

the DEAD are in sheol (Psalm 9:18)

souls are REDEEMED from sheol (Psalm 49:15)

there is no work, device, knowledge or wisdom in sheol (Ecc. 9:10)

no praise in sheol (Isa. 38:18—not even from the RIGHTEOUS who are there)

God will RANSOM souls from sheol (Hosea 13:14)

sheol is a place of DEATH (Psalm 55:15)

the DEAD are in sheol (Psalm 139:8)

God is in sheol (Psalm 139:8)

God will DESTROY sheol (Hosea 13:14)

Now seriously and honestly and Scripturally, is there ANY torture in fire going on in sheol? Is there ANY human activity whatsoever going on in sheol? Is there even consciousness in sheol? Of course not—SHEOL IS DEAD! But Christians ASSURE us that sheol/hades/hell is a place of extreme activity, pain, screaming, torture, fire, demons, Satan, etc., etc., etc. Let me make this so simple a child can understand it. Remember the Christian definition of hell in our dictionary:

The American Heritage Collegiate Dictionary:

"hell, the abode of condemned souls and devils... the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan... a state of separation of God... a place of evil, misery, discord or destruction... torment, anguish."

Okay then, here are ten bold key words which define "hell." If these are the proper words and phrases to describe and define "hell" in our English Bibles, then we should find these ten words scattered all through the verses of Scripture which speak of sheol/grave/hell.

Let us now go through all 31 verses of Scripture in which the translated sheol into the English word hell, and count all of the times that we find the words: condemned souls, devils, eternal punishment, Satan, separation of God, evil, misery, discord or destruction, torment, anguish.

  1. condemned souls is found ZERO times
  2. devils ZERO times
  3. eternal punishment (or punish alone) ZERO times
  4. Satan ZERO times
  5. separation of God ZERO times
  6. evil ZERO times
  7. misery ZERO times
  8. discord or destruction ZERO times
  9. torment ZERO times
10. anguish ZERO times
----------------------
TOTAL: ZERO!

Hope this helps, although these debates rarely bear any fruit.

I just read from Ray's email section, the other day.....this may help you. It sure did me.

"If you look up the word "hell" in Strong's Concordance for the Old Testament, it will give you 31 places that the word "hell" is found in the Hebrew Scriptures. But what you won't know is that the word "sheol" translated "hell" 31 times, is also translated into other words. What other words? Strongs doesn't tell you, but Wigram's does. You take the number for the Hebrew word and look it up chronological by number and when you come to that number it will give you every other word that was tranlated from sheol besides the 31 times it is translated hell."

Thank you Joe and Scribbles for the replies.

And I agree with you Joe, debating this very seldom bears fruit. I'm often apalled by the absolute contempt and apathy some so called "Christians" have for God's word. It is a bizarre thing to watch them aggresively try and defend the hell doctrine instead of defending sound doctrine. At least we can rest in the knowledge of God's sovereign plan and intention knowing that many are called, but few are chosen. How true God's word is in this day and age, as it has always been.

With love to you all.
Andrevan.

What I did was take all words that are translated "hell" in the KJV and found the strong numbers for them.
65 times (7585) she'ôl  she'ôl sheh-ole', sheh-ole'
12 times (1067) geenna gheh'-en-nah
11 times (86)  hadēs hah'-dace
1 time (5020) tartaroō tar-tar-o'-o

I then looked up each time each word was used with the strong number.   Then read each verse. This will give you the Bible has to say about Hell.  Next to each word is a number, the KJV does not allways translate the origonal word the same.


(Gen 37:35)  And all3605 his sons1121 and all3605 his daughters1323 rose up6965 to comfort5162 him; but he refused3985 to be comforted;5162 and he said,559 For3588 I will go down3381 into the grave7585 unto413 my son1121 mourning.57 Thus his father1 wept1058 for him.

(Mat 5:30)  And2532 if1487 thy4675 right1188 hand5495 offend4624 thee,4571 cut it off,1581, 846 and2532 cast906 it from575 thee:4675 for1063 it is profitable4851 for thee4671 that2443 one1520 of thy4675 members3196 should perish,622 and2532 not3361 that thy4675 whole3650 body4983 should be cast906 into1519 hell.1067

(Mat 10:28)  And2532 fear5399 not3361, (575) them which kill615 the3588 body,4983 but1161 are not3361 able1410 to kill615 the3588 soul:5590 but1161 rather3123 fear5399 him which is able1410 to destroy622 both2532 soul5590 and2532 body4983 in1722 hell.1067

(Mat 18:9)  And2532 if1487 thine4675 eye3788 offend4624 thee,4571 pluck it out,1807, 846 and2532 cast906 it from575 thee:4675 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 life2222 with one eye,3442 rather2228 than having2192 two1417 eyes3788 to be cast906 into1519 hell1067 fire.4442

(Mat 23:15)  Woe3759 unto you,5213 scribes1122 and2532 Pharisees,5330 hypocrites!5273 for3754 ye compass4013 sea2281 and2532 land3584 to make4160 one1520 proselyte,4339 and2532 when3752 he is made,1096 ye make4160 him846 twofold more1362 the child5207 of hell1067 than yourselves.5216

(Mat 23:33)  Ye serpents,3789 ye generation1081 of vipers,2191 how4459 can ye escape5343, (575) the3588 damnation2920 of hell?1067

(Mar 9:43)  And2532 if1437 thy4675 hand5495 offend4624 thee,4571 cut it off:609, 846 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 life2222 maimed,2948 than2228 having2192 two1417 hands5495 to go565 into1519 hell,1067 into1519 the3588 fire4442 that never shall be quenched:762

(Mar 9:45)  And2532 if1437 thy4675 foot4228 offend4624 thee,4571 cut it off:609, 846 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 halt5560 into1519 life,2222 than2228 having2192 two1417 feet4228 to be cast906 into1519 hell,1067 into1519 the3588 fire4442 that never shall be quenched:762

(Mar 9:47)  And2532 if1437 thine4675 eye3788 offend4624 thee,4571 pluck it out:1544, 846 it is2076 better2570 for thee4671 to enter1525 into1519 the3588 kingdom932 of God2316 with one eye,3442 than2228 having2192 two1417 eyes3788 to be cast906 into1519 hell1067 fire:4442

(Luk 12:5)  But1161 I will forewarn5263 you5213 whom5101 ye shall fear:5399 Fear5399 him, which after he hath killed615 hath2192 power1849 to cast1685 into1519 hell;1067 yea,3483 I say3004 unto you,5213 Fear5399 him.5126

(Jam 3:6)  And2532 the3588 tongue1100 is a fire,4442 a world2889 of iniquity;93 so3779 is2525 the3588 tongue1100 among1722 our2257 members,3196 that it defileth4695 the3588 whole3650 body,4983 and2532 setteth on fire5394 the3588 course5164 of nature;1078 and2532 it is set on fire5394 of5259 hell.1067


(Mat 11:23)  And2532 thou,4771 Capernaum,2584 which art exalted5312 unto2193 heaven,3772 shalt be brought down2601 to2193 hell:86 for3754 if1487 the3588 mighty works,1411 which have been done1096 in1722 thee,4671 had been done1096 in1722 Sodom,4670 it would have remained3306 until3360 this day.4594

(Mat 16:18)  And1161 I say also2504, 3004 unto thee,4671 That3754 thou4771 art1488 Peter,4074 and2532 upon1909 this5026 rock4073 I will build3618 my3450 church;1577 and2532 the gates4439 of hell86 shall not3756 prevail against2729 it.846

(Luk 10:15)  And2532 thou,4771 Capernaum,2584 which art exalted5312 to2193 heaven,3772 shalt be thrust down2601 to2193 hell.86

(Luk 16:23)  And2532 in1722 hell86 he lifted up1869 his848 eyes,3788 being5225 in1722 torments,931 and seeth3708 Abraham11 afar off,575, 3113 and2532 Lazarus2976 in1722 his846 bosom.2859

(Act 2:27)  Because3754 thou wilt not3756 leave1459 my3450 soul5590 in1519 hell,86 neither3761 wilt thou suffer1325 thine4675 Holy One3741 to see1492 corruption.1312

(Act 2:31)  He seeing this before4275 spake2980 of4012 the3588 resurrection386 of Christ,5547 that3754 his846 soul5590 was not3756 left2641 in1519 hell,86 neither3761 his846 flesh4561 did see1492 corruption.1312

(1Co 15:55)  O death,2288 where4226 is thy4675 sting?2759 O grave,86 where4226 is thy4675 victory?3534

(Rev 1:18)  (2532) I am he that liveth,2198 and2532 was1096 dead;3498 and,2532 behold,2400 I am1510 alive2198 forevermore,1519, 165, 165 Amen;281 and2532 have2192 the3588 keys2807 of hell86 and2532 of death.2288

(Rev 6:  And2532 I looked,1492 and2532 behold2400 a pale5515 horse:2462 and2532 his846 name3686 that sat2521 on1883 him846 was Death,2288 and2532 Hell86 followed190 with3326 him.846 And2532 power1849 was given1325 unto them846 over1909 the3588 fourth part5067 of the3588 earth,1093 to kill615 with1722 sword,4501 and2532 with1722 hunger,3042 and2532 with1722 death,2288 and2532 with5259 the3588 beasts2342 of the3588 earth.?1093

(Rev 20:13)  And2532 the3588 sea2281 gave up1325 the3588 dead3498 which were in1722 it;846 and2532 death2288 and2532 hell86 delivered up1325 the3588 dead3498 which were in1722 them:846 and2532 they were judged2919 every man1538 according2596 to their848 works.2041

(Rev 20:14)  And2532 death2288 and2532 hell86 were cast906 into1519 the3588 lake3041 of fire.4442 This3778 is2076 the3588 second1208 death.2288


(2Pe 2:4)  For1063 if1487 God2316 spared5339 not3756 the angels32 that sinned,264 but235 cast them down to hell,5020 and delivered3860 them into chains4577 of darkness,2217 to be reserved5083 unto1519 judgment;2920
