==Topheth (Latin)== | |||
"In the Hebrew Bible Tophet or Topheth (Hebrew: תופת ha-tōpheth; Greek: Ταφεθ; Latin: Topheth) was a location in Jerusalem, in the Valley of Hinnom, where worshipers influenced by the Canaanite Pantheon sacrificed children to the gods Moloch and Baal by burning them alive. Tophet became a theological or poetic synonym for hell within Christendom." | |||
