From N S B Notes: Grave, THE GRAVE, SHEOL, HADES, HELL
The Hebrew word “Sheol” and the Greek word “Hades” basically refer to the place
of the dead. They mean the common grave of mankind, gravedom, or the earthly
place where the dead are buried. The Hebrew word that specifically means an
individual grave or burial place is “qever.”
(Genesis 23:4, 6, 9,
20) These
words do not in any way mean a place where dead people suffer pain.
The idea of eternal torment in Sheol or Hades is not consistant with the true
meaning of these words! The only reference in the Holy Scriptures that speaks
of someone suffering in the grave is found at Luke 16:23 where Jesus Christ is
obviously presenting an illustration, something symbolic, in order to teach a
lesson. This was perhaps hyperbole or an exaggeration to emphasize an important
spiritual lesson.
HELL: In the seventeenth century, when the King James Version of the Bible was
written, people stored their potatoes in hell. Hell was a cellar, a pit where
root vegetables were stored, and the grave where dead people were buried. The
word hell is not found in the New Simplified Bible. This is because the vast
majority of the religious population today thinks hell is a place of
everlasting torment. Proper translation of the Hebrew and Greek words lead us
to understand that it is simply the grave.

Hades: Hell or the Grave? FROM http://www.2001translation.com/JOHN.htm#_In_an_ancient_time#_In_an_ancient_time
The Greek word hades (they pronounced it hah-des) has been translated both as Hell (which is thought of as a place of
torture) and as the Grave in other
Bible versions (such as the King James). Since one word can’t mean two very
different things, which translation is correct?
Hades (like the English word
Hell) actually means the place of the
dead. However, as pagan Greek philosophy started to develop, then creep
into Christianity, the later-day Greek view of hades (a place of torture) was
applied to it. Was this a correct application?
An insight into how the
ancient Hebrews and the early Christians understood the word can be gained by
looking at how it was applied in the Greek
Septuagint translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (the ‘Old Testament’ Bible
of Jesus’ day). There, the Hebrew word sheol
is translated into Greek as hades in
every instance, yet in each case, these are obvious references to the grave
(the place of the dead), not to a place of conscious torture (see Ecclesiastes
9:5, 10).
Another revealing application
of the word hades is found at Revelation
the 20:13. It says there, ‘The sea (gr. he
thalassa) gave up its dead, death and the grave (gr. thanatos kai ho hades) gave up those
dead in them, and they were all judged by the things they did.’
Notice that those who die at
sea are differentiated from those who are buried in graves (hades) and in other places (thanatos). So, Hades is better
translated as grave.
