Valley of Hinnom
(Valley of Hinnom)
Gehenna (12 Usages)
(Read the PDF Version)
Yehoshua speaking to the people, spoke of the Valley of Hinnom (not a place called Hell), it being used as a figure, representing Yahweh’s coming judgment by fire such as was done with Sodom & Gomorrah. These people knew where the Valley of Hinnom (south west Jerusalem) was and that it was used for the city dump. This valley was defiled by blood and dead bodies; a valley that had a history of child sacrifice; a valley that had been defiled by King Josiah.
