欣嫩子谷

欣嫩子谷（；），又称欣嫩谷，是耶路撒冷的一个谷地。

阿拉伯語中，稱欣嫩子谷為「拉巴比乾河」（）。

在希伯来圣经中，第一次提及於猶大支派的領地，作為耶布斯的南界。犹大诸王在此以火獻祭自己孩子給摩洛克的地方；；；；； 。此后，这个地方便被认为受到了诅咒Jewish Encyclopedia: Gehenna : "The place where children were sacrificed to the god Moloch was originally in the "valley of the son of Hinnom," to the south of Jerusalem (Josh. xv. 8, passim; II Kings xxiii. 10; Jer. ii. 23; vii. 31-32; xix. 6, 13-14). For this reason the valley was deemed to be accursed, and "Gehenna" therefore soon became a figurative equivalent for "hell.""，不同於「地府」（），作為「煉獄」的代名詞。Kohler, Kaufmann; Ludwig Blau (1906). "Gehenna: Sin and Merit " Jewish Encyclopedia: "It is frequently said that certain sins will lead man into Gehenna. The name 'Gehenna' itself is explained to mean that unchastity will lead to Gehenna ('Er. 19a); so also will adultery, idolatry, pride, mockery, hypocrisy, anger, etc. (Soṭah 4b, 41b; Ta'an. 5a; B. B. 10b, 78b; 'Ab. Zarah 18b; Ned. 22a)."

"Hell ". Catholic Encyclopedia: "[I]n the New Testament the term Gehenna is used more frequently in preference to hades, as a name for the place of punishment of the damned.... [The Valley of Hinnom was] held in abomination by the Jews, who, accordingly, used the name of this valley to designate the abode of the damned (Targ. Jon., Gen., iii, 24; Henoch, c. xxvi). And Christ adopted this usage of the term."

基督教的新約文本中，亦譯作地獄。；
