"HELL" IN THE 1960?

 

The word "Hell" ("infierno" in Spanish) does not appear one time in the Old Testament of the 1960 edition.  Nor does it appear in the book of Revelation.  Let's look at the evidence, as we compare the English King James Bible with the 1865 New Testament, the 1909 revision, and the 1960 translation:

  *Note that the 1960 substitutes Hades in place of Hell many times in the New Testament.  And, in the entire Old Testament, you can't find the word Hell with a finding machine.  The 1960 only has "Seol."

 *Also note that the 1909 uses several words in place of Hell in the Old Testament such as "sepulcro" (grave), "sepultura" (sepulture ), "profundo" (the deep or in a poetic sense "Hell"), "abismo" (abyss or hell), and "fosa" (pit).  However it never uses "Seol" or "Hades."  At least you can find Hell in the Old Testament of this edition!

 In the New Testament, the 1909 uses "Gehenna" (city dump or type of hell) several times as well as pluralizing Hell.  But, it has the word Hell more times than the 1960.

Results:

 In the Old Testament, the 1909 has the word "Hell" eleven times out of 30 compared to the King James Bible (37%).

In the Old Testament, the 1960 has the word "Hell" zero times out of 30 compared to the King James Bible (0%).

In the New Testament, the 1909 has the word "Hell" (in plural or singular) 19 times out of 23 compared to the King James (83 %).

In the New Testament, the 1960 has the word "Hell" 13 times out of 23 compared to the King James Bible (57%).

In the New Testament, the 1865 has the word "Hell" 21 times out of 23 compared to the King James Bible (91%).
