The OT did have a concept of Hell. It is called "Sheol"[1].
"Therefore Sheol enlarges its throat, and opens wide its enormous jaws,
and down go Zion’s nobles and masses, her revelers and carousers!"
Isaiah 5:14
"As drought and heat consume the melting snow, so Sheol steals those who have sinned. "
Job 24:19
I could go on.
