Abstract
In Biblical research it is generally accepted that Yahweh is the Lord of all the World, including the netherworld. However, a careful analysis of the Biblical text can show some cracks in such a picture. These cracks are visible in some sapiential Biblical works (Jb 7:21; Ps 88:6). They are an effect of the removal of Yahweh from the impure sphere of the dead. Such a process had already begun before the Exile, but the apogee was after the return from Babylon. In addition it was a time when the principle of temporal retribution was shaken, but divine justice could not be moved beyond the grave because the concept of resurrection had not yet appeared.
