Strong's Lexicon Hinnom: Hinnom Original Word: הִנֹּם Word Origin: Likely derived from an unknown root, possibly related to lamentation or mourning. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1067 (γέεννα, Gehenna): Used in the New Testament to refer to hell or the place of final punishment. Usage: Hinnom refers to a valley located to the south of Jerusalem, known as the Valley of Hinnom. It is historically significant in the Bible as a place associated with idolatrous practices, including child sacrifice to the god Molech. The valley later became synonymous with judgment and was used as a symbol for hell or Gehenna in the New Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: The Valley of Hinnom, or Gehenna, was a site of pagan worship where the Israelites, influenced by surrounding cultures, engaged in the detestable practice of child sacrifice. This practice was condemned by the prophets and led to the valley being cursed. In later Jewish thought, the valley became a symbol of divine judgment and the final place of punishment for the wicked. By the time of the New Testament, Gehenna was understood as a metaphor for hell. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originof uncertain derivation Definition a valley S.W. of Jer.
