Greek name of the Valley of Hinon which was south and southwest of Jerusalem (Jeremiah 17:31). This place outside the city was used to burn waste. In the professions this valley is spoken of as a place where corpses would be made (Jeremiah 7:32;19:6). There is no proof that people or animals were thrown to be burned alive or tormented. So this place could not symbolize an invisible region where human souls are eternally tormented with literal fire. In reality, Jesus and his disciples used Gehenna as a symbol of eternal punishment called "the second death," that is, eternal destruction. ( Revelation 20 : 14; Matthew 5:22;10:28) .
If the words Hebrew Sheol and Hades in Greek are used in the Bible, then one must turn to it to interpret its meaning Psalm 16: 10 and Acts 2: 31 use them to refer to the death of Christ, of course Jesus was not in a place of torment, he was in the tomb, dead unconscious Ecclesiastes 9: 5 , 10 .
