Since very ancient times, human imagination is surrounded by the expectation about what happens to a human being after death. This is why a great number of religious systems have searched to provide an answer about what a person may expect after his or her death. Sometimes this answer reflects situations lived in the quotidian, so that expectations of justice, rest and happiness are, among others, at center of hope of existence after life in the world as we have it. But as ideas, beliefs, and ages are always diverse, we have chosen the Jewish field of imagetic to accompany elaborations and developments of its notions about life after death. In this way, we intend to observe some subtleties that permeate the appearance of this belief in the Judaism of Second the Temple and how it and its it and its reformulations canned answer to certain aspirations of those had appealed to its suggestions, what we are going do bringing to this field also believes of other people/cultures with which Israel maintained contact during some periods of its history. Doing this, we presuppose an interchange of religious-cultural elements which, considered at the light of proper expectations, may have propitiated to Second Temple Judaism a wide range of concepts and options not available in the former period.
