Re: OT Judaic Hell? Yes.
For the record, there are a score or more references to hell in the Jewish scriptures, most referring to the place of the dead, Sheol but some clearly implicating a place of punishment, such as Psalms 9:17 where we read, "The wicked shall be turned into hell and all the nations that forget God."
​
replace that with "death." the wicked shall be killed. does it still make sense?
​
Jesus said this place has two compartments, the place of fiery punishment and the place of the good, with the implication that the latter were awaiting resurrection.
​
that second bit doesn't sound like a place of punishment, does it?

Re: OT Judaic Hell? Yes.
1. My Hebrew-English Lexicon has the Hebrew word "sheol" in Psalms 9:17 which is properly translated by most translators as "hell" in English.
​
no, the word "hell" is derived from "sheol." it's a poor transliteration of it. the correct translation, as ramoss pointed out above, is "grave."
​
at BEST the concept is more similar to greek "hades" (which is the word the new testament uses, btw). at worst, it's just a literal grave.
