TOPHETH - T>@ - and once To’phet (place of burning), was in the southeast extremity of the "valley of the son of Hinnom," kjv@Jeremiah:7:31) which is "by the entry of the east gate." kjv@Jeremiah:19:2) The locality of Hinnom is to have been elsewhere. HINNOM It seems also to have been part of the king’s gardens, and watered by Siloam, perhaps a little to the south of the present Birket el
- Hamra . The name Tophet occurs only in the Old Testament. ( kjv@2Kings:23:10; kjv@Isaiah:30:33; kjv@Jeremiah:7:31-32 kjv@Jeremiah:19:6 kjv@Jeremiah:19:11-12-13-14) The New does not refer to it, nor the Apocrypha. Tophet has been variously translated. The most natural meaning seems that suggested by the occurrence of the word in two consecutive verses, in one of which it is a tabret and in the other Tophet. kjv@Isaiah:30:32-37) The Hebrew words are nearly identical; and Tophet war probably the king’s "music-grove" or garden, denoting originally nothing evil or hateful. Certainly there is no proof that it took its name from the beaten to drown the cries of the burning victims that passed through the fire to Molech. Afterward it was defiled by idols and polluted by the sacrifices of Baal and the fires of Molech. Then it became the place of abomination, the very gate or pit of hell. The pious kings defiled it and threw down its altars and high places, pouring into it all the filth of the city, till it became the "abhorrence" of Jerusalem.

easton:



Tophet @ =Topheth, from Heb. toph "a drum," because the cries of children here sacrificed by the priests of Moloch were drowned by the noise of such an instrument; or from taph or toph, meaning "to burn," and hence a place of burning, the name of a particular part in the valley of Hinnom. "Fire being the most destructive of all elements, is chosen by the sacred writers to symbolize the agency by which God punishes or destroys the wicked. We are not to assume from prophetical figures that material fire is the precise agent to be used. It was not the agency employed in the destruction of Sennacherib, mentioned in kjv@Isaiah:30:33...Tophet properly begins where the Vale of Hinnom bends round to the east, having the cliffs of Zion on the north, and the Hill of Evil Counsel on the south. It terminates at Beer 'Ayub, where it joins the Valley of Jehoshaphat. The cliffs on the southern side especially abound in ancient tombs. Here the dead carcasses of beasts and every offal and abomination were cast, and left to be either devoured by that worm that never died or consumed by that fire that was never quenched." Thus Tophet came to represent the place of punishment. (
See HINNOM.)
