Verse 5: This is explained in the Talmud (Berakhot 18) as meaning that those who are alive, who are aware of their mortality, are the righteous ones, who prepare for the afterlife by doing God's will. The "dead" are the wicked ones, who during their lifetime act as if they know nothing about mortality and will live forever. Verse 6: When the wicked die, they leave no true accomplishments behind (Rashi commentary).

Verse 7: The righteous should be happy in this life (ibid).

Verse 8: This is explained in the Talmud (Shabbat 153a) as meaning that we need to maintain spiritual cleanliness at all times.

Verse 9: We should have a family and livelihood, and not think that being a hermit is the Torah-path.

Count in tens. What are the two tens either side of 509? 500 is smaller and 510 is bigger. Any ten smaller than 500 is going to be further away than 500 Any ten bigger than 510 is going to be further away than 510 So the answer is going to be one of 500 and 510. Now, how far is 500? 509 - 500 = 9 units how far is 510? 510 - 509 = 1 unit So which is the smaller distance? 1 unit to 510. So 510 is the nearest 10.

Do the majority of people go to heaven or hell?

AnswerThis question can be best answered by Ecclesiastes 9:5: "For the living know that they shall die; but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten." If the Bible is literally true and Ecclesiastes is a legitimate book of the Bible, then people go neither to heaven nor hell. The concept of heaven only came into the Jewish religion after the Babylonian Exile, when the Jews were exposed to new ideas.
