I got this right here:

Hell, Sheol, Hades, Paradise, and the Grave

There seems to be some confusion about the meaning of Hell and who goes there because of the way the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades have been translated in our English Bibles. Since this confusion has led some into an erroneous understanding of what the Bible actually teaches about the i

EXAMPLES SHOWING THAT SHEOL IS NOT A BURIAL PLACE​

1. After selling Joseph into slavery, his brothers stained his coat with blood and used it to convince their father that he had been killed by a wild animal (Gen. 37:26-36). Jacob’s sons and daughters tried “to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted; and he said, `for I will go down into the grave (Sheol) unto my son mourning’. Thus his father wept for him” (v. 35).

From Jacob’s words it is clear that he fully intended to eventually be reunited with his son in a tangible way. Obviously then, he did not simply have in mind the idea of joining him in burial as he believed that Joseph’s body had not been buried at all, but was eaten by an animal (v. 33). This being the case, it was impossible for Jacob to think he would join Joseph in burial. Obviously, he looked forward to being reunited with him in the place of the departed dead, not in burial. The word rendered grave in this passage is Sheol, the abode of the souls of those who have died.

I think it's good, Jesus Lover! I've written pieces on many of the same passages, only I have to confess I hadn't noticed this particular passage you highlighted in the post.

So thank you for posting. I had actually been planning on revising that series of expose's, so I'm glad to have read this before I did. I will be including it when I do : )

Blessings in Christ, and thank you for posting!

That's actually a wild assumption that the Scripture is not saying at all.

That Genesis 37:36 verse is simply Jacob saying he will mourn his son's death until it is time for JACOB to go down to his grave, i.e., he will mourn until death. Simple. It even says that Jacob then wept for his son. How could one miss that?

It shows that Jacob DID... believe the lie that his son Joseph was dead.

I'd hate see what other Bible Scriptures you guys like to twist out of recognition.
