First of all, it is important to recognise that the term 'criticism', as in critical scholarship does not imply opposition or disagreement. In this context, criticism is the careful, objective analysis of the texts and their background.

A very active area in modern scholarship is called hermeneutics, the study of interpretation, or the quest for meaning. This study employs various approaches to written documents, each called a "criticism": Textual Criticism, Historical Criticism and Source Criticism.

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.
