For example, you can look into a person's grave and their body lays lifeless, there isn't any knowledge or thinking there. However, their soul is either present with the Lord or alienated from God and in torments. |
The "grave" he speaks of is Sheol in the Hebrew. It is the Hebrew name for Hades. One and the same. The Writer says nothing happens there.
The words by Josephus are not found in the Bible.
