37.35 Descendam ad filium meum. etc. Quæritur quomodo hoc intelligatur, utrum mali tantum, an etiam boni in infernum descendant? Si tantum mali, quomodo iste ad filium suum dicit se lugentem descendere velle? Non enim in pœnis inferni credibile est eum esse. An perturbati, et dolentis verba sunt, mala sua etiam hic exaggerantis? an credibile est apud infernum quædam loca secreta, et minus pœnalia ante passionem Domini fuisse, ad quæ etiam sancti descendebant? quia nullus paradisum ingredi poterat, donec Christus rhomphæam igneam amoveret. HIERON. Madianei autem vendiderunt Joseph in Ægypto Putiphari eunucho, Pharaonis archimagiro. Plerumque sb, id est, coquorum principes, pro magistris exercitus Scriptura ponit; enim Græce est coquus, et dicitur, quod est occidere: eo quod coqui occidant coquendas pecudes. Venditus est igitur Joseph principi laniorum, non Petefre, ut in Latino scriptum est, sed Putiphari eunucho. Ubi quæritur quomodo postea uxorem habere dicatur? Tradunt Hebræi emptum ab hoc Joseph ob nimiam pulchritudinem in turpe ministerium, et a domino, virilibus ejus arefactis, postea electum esse juxta morem hierophantarum, id est, sacra loquentium in pontificatu Heliopoleos: et hujus filiam esse Aseneth, quam postea Joseph acceperit uxorem.

Sheol is the Hebrew name for the world of the dead, that is, the place where the spirits of dead people lived. You could put that information in a footnote. Your translation of Sheol should not refer to hell or a place of punishment. Some translations have “the grave” here, but that leaves out the idea of an afterlife that this sentence implies. Alternate translation: “No, I will continue to mourn until I die and join my son down in Sheol.”
