        DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of ἄβυσσος ‘pit,’ not occurring in the NT) a location of the dead and a place where the Devil is kept ({S:06602000300012}), the abode of the beast as the antichrist ({S:06601100700026}), and of Abaddon, as the angel of the underworld ({S:06600901100016})

        Glosses: ['abyss', 'abode of evil spirits', 'very deep place']

        Comments: ἄβυσσος is sometimes rendered as ‘a very deep hole’; in other instances, ‘a hole without a bottom’ or ‘the deepest hole in the earth.’
