Joshua 15:8; Pressel in Herzog, under the word), which was so called from the cries of the little children who were thrown into the fiery arms of Moloch (which see), i. e. of an idol having the form of a bull. The Jews so abhorred the place after these horrible sacrifices had been abolished by king Josiah (2 Kings 23:10), that they cast into it not only all manner of refuse, but even the dead bodies of animals and of unburied criminals who had been executed. And since fires were always needed to consume the dead bodies, that the air might not become tainted by the putrefaction, it came to pass that the place was called γηννα τοῦ πυρός (this common explanation of the descriptive genitive τοῦ πυρός is found in Rabbi David Kimchi (fl. circa Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew "גֵּי בֶן־הִנֹּם" (Gê Ben-Hinnom), meaning "Valley of the Son of Hinnom," a valley located south of Jerusalem.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The primary Hebrew term associated with γέεννα is Hinnom (H2011), referring to the Valley of Hinnom. This valley's historical and religious significance in the Old Testament provides the backdrop for the New Testament's use of Gehenna as a symbol of ultimate judgment and punishment. Usage: The term γέεννα is used in the New Testament to describe a place of eternal punishment and is often translated as "hell" in English Bibles. It is distinct from Hades, which refers to the temporary abode of the dead. Context: Gehenna, represented by the Greek word γέεννα, is a term used in the New Testament to denote a place of ultimate punishment for the wicked. The word is derived from the Hebrew "Valley of the Son of Hinnom," a location outside ancient Jerusalem known for its association with idolatrous practices, including child sacrifices to the god Molech (2 Kings 23:10; Jeremiah 7:31). In later Jewish thought, the valley became synonymous with a place of divine judgment and fiery destruction.
