The Jewish sects known as Sadducees and Pharisees arose late in the inter-Testimental period after the completion of the books that were later accepted into the Jewish canon. These sects were unknown during the period about which the Old Testament books were written (apart from the Deuterocanonical books, which nevertheless were not concerned with them).

How many times was hell written in the Old Testament?
None. The Israelites believed in the concept of Sheol, which is literally the "Grave". This was incorrectly translated as "Hell" in the 17th Century, but in modern translations, you will not find the word, "Hell" anywhere in the Old Testament. Now, it is correctly translated, "Grave". In the Old Testament, the afterlife was a mystery, and Israelites had no concept of Hell. It was sometime during the 400 years between the end of the Old Testament and the birth of Jesus Christ, that the Pharisees and Essenes started believing in the concept of Hell. The Sadducees however, did not believe in Hell.

The Sadducees, politically powerful religious leaders, took a literal view of the Torah, rejecting the Pharisees' oral law, afterlife, angels, and demons.[2] The Pharisees, whose views became Rabbinic Judaism, eventually won (or at least survived) this debate.

Why did Jesus hate the Pharisees?
A:Compared to the Sadducees, the Pharisees were more concerned with moral issues and the rights of the common people - many of the same concerns that Christianity expressed. Since the gospels were written long after the death of Jesus, it may be that the gospel references to the Pharisees were more related to rivalry between the early Christians and the Pharisees, rather than any genuine spirit of animosity on the part of Jesus. The first gospel, that of Mark, was written approximately 70 CE, at the end of the First Roman-Jewish War, when the old order of Temple Judaism was destroyed, the Sadducees had been eliminated and the Christians and Pharisees were both striving to be seen as the natural successor to Temple Judaism.
