Nonsense! The Jews did/do not have a concept of Christian heaven and hell.

Act 23:6-8 But perceiving that one group were Sadducees and the other Pharisees, Paul began crying out in the Council, "Brethren, I am a Pharisee, a son of Pharisees; I am on trial for the hope and resurrection of the dead!" As he said this, there occurred a dissension between the Pharisees and Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, nor an angel, nor a spirit, but the Pharisees acknowledge them all.

Pharisaitical Jews believed in resurrection -- the World to Come referred to earth, not heaven. Until resurrection, which is indeterminate, and post-messiah, those who die are "asleep" in their graves, and their souls are in Shoel/Hades. No hell. No heaven. You are reading into this because you don't know what Judaism teaches. There is no reference to any heaven or hell in your verses.
