Strong's Lexicon geenna: Gehenna, hell Original Word: γέεννα Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew גֵּי־הִנֹּם (Gê Hinnom), meaning "Valley of Hinnom" Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H1516 גַּי (gay) - valley - H2011 הִנֹּם (Hinnom) - Hinnom Usage: In the New Testament, "geenna" is used to denote a place of final punishment for the wicked. It is often translated as "hell" in English Bibles. The term is used to describe a state of eternal separation from God, characterized by suffering and destruction. It is distinct from Hades, which refers to the temporary abode of the dead. Cultural and Historical Background: Gehenna originally referred to the Valley of Hinnom, located southwest of Jerusalem. In the Old Testament, this valley was associated with idolatrous practices, including child sacrifices to the god Molech (2 Kings 23:10; Jeremiah 7:31). By the time of the New Testament, Gehenna had become a symbol of divine judgment and eternal damnation. Jewish tradition held that it was a place of fiery torment for the wicked. HELPS Word-studies 1067 géenna (a transliteration of the Hebrew term, Gêhinnōm, "the valley of Hinnom") – Gehenna, i.e. hell (also referred to as the "lake of fire" in Revelation). Gehenna ("hell"), the place of post-resurrection torment (judgment), refers strictly to the everlasting abode of the unredeemed where they experience divine judgment in their individual resurrection-bodies. Each of the unredeemed receives one at the Great White Throne Judgment (Rev 20:11-15), i.e. a body that "matches" their capacity for torment relating to their (unique) judgment.

Joshua 15:8; Pressel in Herzog, under the word), which was so called from the cries of the little children who were thrown into the fiery arms of Moloch (which see), i. e. of an idol having the form of a bull. The Jews so abhorred the place after these horrible sacrifices had been abolished by king Josiah (2 Kings 23:10), that they cast into it not only all manner of refuse, but even the dead bodies of animals and of unburied criminals who had been executed. And since fires were always needed to consume the dead bodies, that the air might not become tainted by the putrefaction, it came to pass that the place was called γηννα τοῦ πυρός (this common explanation of the descriptive genitive τοῦ πυρός is found in Rabbi David Kimchi (fl. circa Strong's Exhaustive Concordance gehenna, hell.
