Footnote

d “Hades” appears in the Christian Greek Scriptures ten times, not as a mythological person, but as the common grave of mankind. It is the Greek equivalent of the Hebrew she’ohlʹ.​—Compare Psalm 16:10; Acts 2:27, Kingdom Interlinear.​—See Insight on the Scriptures, Volume 1, pages 1015-16, published by the Watchtower Society.
