It is the Old Testament counterpart to the New Testament concept of Hades. Usage: In the New Testament, ᾅδης is used to describe the place of the dead, often in contrast to heaven. It is sometimes associated with punishment or a state of waiting for the final resurrection and judgment. Context: ᾅδης (Hades) is a term used in the New Testament to describe the intermediate state of the dead. It is distinct from "Gehenna," which refers to the final place of punishment for the wicked. In the cultural context of the New Testament, Hades was understood as a temporary holding place for souls, both righteous and unrighteous, awaiting the resurrection.
