Based on the torah, this is what the earth looks like (i.redd.it)

I'm not very familiar with the Torah, or many descriptions of this layout of Earth so forgive me if this is a stupid question -- what are the columns of the Earth for? They seem to end before the abyss ends, if this diagram is accurate to the descriptions, and so don't seem to actually be supporting the Earth the way you'd typically expect from a "column".

They just sort of seem like rock extrusions with nothing else going for them. Are they supposed to connect to anything at the other end?

Woah, woah, there. What's with all this thought and attention to details?

Hell, they connect to hell.

IIRC Judaism doesn't really have the concept of a physical hell

I assumed "Hell" was what is labelled "Sheol" here -- what's Sheol?

It's more like purgatory. Maybe a waiting room where everyone is dead? Like from Beetlejuice?
