Job 17:13-16
17:13 a to the grave (Hebrew to Sheol): The realm of the dead was visualized as a house (30:23 b; Ps 49:11 c; Eccl 12:5 d).17:14 e my father ... mother ... sister: This bitter parody of a family reunion in a graveyard shows how Job envisioned his impending death.
17:16 f the grave (literally the bars of Sheol): Sheol—the abode of the dead—was seen as having a barred gate, allowing no escape.
