In Hades } (\
eis H
id
n \).
Hades is the unseen world ,
Hebrew Sheol ,
but here it is viewed as death itself "
considered as a rapacious destroyer " (
Hackett ).
It does not mean the place of punishment ,
though both heaven and the place of torment are in Hades (
Luke:16:23 |). "
Death and Hades are strictly parallel terms :
he who is dead is in Hades " (
Page ).
The use of \
eis \
here =\
en \
is common enough .
The Textus Receptus here reads \
eis H
idou \ (
genitive case )
like the Attic idiom with \
domon \ (
abode )
understood . "
Hades "
in English is not translation ,
but transliteration .
The phrase in the Apostles '
Creed , "
descended into hell "

Hades ,
not Gehenna ).

hell "
is Anglo-Saxon from \

and was used in the Authorized Version to translate both Hades as here and Gehenna as in strkjv @
