GEHENNA<br />
(GEHINNOM)<br />
גהנום<br />
Another name we find in the bible is the name Gehenna or Gehinnom.<br />
Gehenna ( Ancient Greek: γέεννα) from the Hebrew Gehinnom (Rabbinical: (גהנם/גהנום is a small<br />
valley in Jerusalem. In the Hebrew Bible, Gehenna was initially where some of the kings of Judah<br />
sacrificed their children by fire. Thereafter it was deemed to be cursed (Jer. 7:31, 19:2-6).<br />
In Rabbinic literature <strong>and</strong> Christian <strong>and</strong> Islamic scripture, Gehenna is a destination of the wicked.<br />
This is different from the more neutral Sheol/Hades, the abode of the dead, although the King<br />
James Version of the Bible usually translates both with the Anglo-Saxon word <strong>Hell</strong>.<br />
