Jeremiah / Question
Question source
Jeremiah
Topheth is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, where child sacrifice is described, and God says it will be called the Valley of Slaughter (Jeremiah 7:31–32). The passage says many will fall and there will be no place to bury them (Jeremiah 7:32–33).
31They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I didn`t command, neither came it into my mind.
32Therefore, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter: for they shall bury in Topheth, until there be no place [to bury].
33The dead bodies of this people shall be food for the birds of the sky, and for the animals of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.
