阿拉伯語中，稱欣嫩子谷為「拉巴比乾河」（阿拉伯語：وادي الربابة，羅馬化：Wadi er-Rababi）[1]。
在希伯來聖經中，第一次提及於猶大支派的領地，作為耶布斯的南界[2]。猶大諸王在此以火獻祭自己孩子給摩洛克的地方[3][4] 。此後，這個地方便被認為受到了詛咒[5]，不同於「地府」（希伯來語：שְׁאוֹל，羅馬化：Sheol）[6]，作為「煉獄」的代名詞。[7][8]

For this reason the valley was deemed to be accursed, and "Gehenna" therefore soon became a figurative equivalent for "hell.""

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 （頁面存檔備份，存於網際網路檔案館）". 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."
