Hi Rasta,
To the Hebrwew, death was not extinction. They were no longer 'Nephesh' when they died, but becaime 'Rephaim' (shades) in Sheol. (see Job 3).

Here is a really good study of 'nephesh@ (hebrew for soul)

It is a long read, but it answers every point and dispels a lot of dualistic beliefs that has polluted modern day christian thinking.
