Psalm 139:1-24

We cannot escape God's presence – not in the most distant lands, or even in Sheol.

Ecclesiastes 9:7 - 10:1

The Hebrew word "Sheol" can sometimes be translated as "grave"; and this may be a good translation in the book of Ecclesiastes (considering the way it looks at "death"). At other times, though, the word seems to refer to some type of indefinite "place of the dead," rather than to a physical location. (It is significant that other terms were available for use when a writer of Scripture wanted only to refer to a "burying place.")

(Most of our knowledge about what occurs after death is found in the New Testament; so we should not be surprised that some aspects of death are not fully defined in the Old Testament.)
