cessation, the world/land of the dead (Sheol as the place where life ceases)
A rare noun meaning 'cessation' or 'end,' appearing in Hezekiah's psalm where he laments not seeing the Lord 'among the inhabitants of cessation.' This poetic term for Sheol emphasizes death as the end of activity, the place where earthly life ceases. Some scholars propose reading 'world' (cheled) instead, but the concept of cessation fits well—death is the great stopping-place. Hezekiah's lament captures the finality of death before Christ's resurrection revealed life beyond.
