SalmondHast.DB TOPHET. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to spit or to abhor.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Topheth in the Strong's Concordance. However, the concept of Gehenna (γέεννα, Strong's Greek Number 1067) in the New Testament is related to the Valley of Hinnom, where Topheth was located, symbolizing a place of judgment and destruction. Usage: Topheth is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a place of abomination where the Israelites engaged in the worship of foreign gods, including the sacrifice of children by fire. It is mentioned in the context of divine judgment and condemnation. Context: Topheth is a site located in the Valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem. It is infamously known for its association with the worship of the Canaanite god Molech, where children were sacrificed by fire. This practice was strictly condemned by the prophets and is cited as a reason for divine judgment against Judah. The name "Topheth" is believed to be derived from a root meaning "to spit" or "to abhor," reflecting the site's detestable nature. In the Bible, Topheth is mentioned in several passages, including 2 Kings 23:10, where King Josiah defiled the site to prevent further sacrifices, and Jeremiah 7:31-32, where the prophet Jeremiah denounces the abominable practices conducted there. The Valley of Hinnom, including Topheth, later became synonymous with Gehenna, a term used in the New Testament to describe a place of final judgment and punishment.
