the grave Heb. Sheol, the name of the abode of the dead, answering to the Greek ᾅδης, e.g. Acts 2:27. Sheol, as the region of the dead, is, according to Hebrew ideas, the locality beneath the ground, where the disembodied spirits led a shadowy existence. See Isaiah 14:9-20. Jacob thinks that he will arrive in Sheol, as he had been on the earth, in mourning for his lost son. See Genesis 42:38. The shade of his son will there recognize the signs of his father's grief for his sake. "To bring a man's gray hairs with sorrow to the grave" (here and Genesis 42:38; Genesis 44:29; Genesis 44:31) does not, therefore, only mean "to bring a man prematurely aged to his grave," but also "to bring an old man to the place of departed spirits in a state of lamentation for bereavement."
