In both verses mentioning 'hell' the Hebrew word is 'sheol' It carries a lot of negative connotations but it isn't really the fire and brimstone I was taught. Perhaps the Prince of Darkness means to make a similar distinction.

My childhood oppressors got pretty much everything wrong actually, even by their own standards.

How much material have you got in the original Hebrew?

I've been using a program called "DAVAR" It is basically an electronic bible featuring several translations, one of which is Hebrew. Very cool application, and free too.
