Translations: Gehenna, a Gehenna, hell
From the root: ΓΕΕΝΝΑ
Part of Speech: Noun
Explanation: This word refers to Gehenna, a valley outside Jerusalem that was historically associated with child sacrifice and later became a refuse dump where fires burned continuously. In the New Testament, it is used metaphorically to describe a place of eternal punishment or destruction, often translated as 'hell'. It is a compound word, likely a transliteration of the Hebrew 'Ge Hinnom' (Valley of Hinnom). The spelling 'ΓΕΗΔΗ' appears to be a misspelling or a scribal error for 'ΓΕΕΝΝΑ'.
