In Num. 16 it is said that to punish the rebellion of Korah, he and his men would go into “sheol,” but the word was properly translated and described as (burning up in a fire; being buried in a grave; falling into a pit; going to hell). “They go down quick into the pit”
Did Korah and his men go to hell? Most likely, but that was not described in this chapter
“The LORD _______________________, and maketh _______________________: he bringeth down to the ___________________________, and bringeth up.” I Sam. 2:6
It is unlikely that “hell” in Job 11:8 (“It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?”) is speaking about the grave because of (the word “sheol;” the comparison; the speaker; the seriousness of the statement). The comparison suggests more than death or the grave

When Christ says, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death,” He clearly shows that (hell is a fiery place of torment; He is sovereign over such things; there is a difference between hell and death; we need His grace). Rev. 1:18
“And I looked, and behold a pale horse: and his name that sat on him was ___________________, and ___________________ followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Rev. 6:8
“And the sea gave up the _______________ which were in it; and ______________ and ______________ delivered up the _________________ which were in them: and they were ________________ every man according to their works. And ____________________ and _____________________ were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.” Rev. 20:13-14
