:And between the two a Veil, and upon Al Aaraf (stand) men
So in the Jewish Midrash, when it is asked what the distance is between heaven and hell,
:the answer of one Rabbi is "a wall," and of another "a span"; and again. "Our leaders tell us that the two are so close that a mere ray glances from one to the other." And so we find similar passages in the Avestic and Pehlavi writings, as, — "the distance is but as that between light and darkness."
