- Tophet:
- "And he defiledª°¹ Topheth,ª which¹ [is] in the valleyª of the childrenª° of Hinnom,ª that no¹ manª might make¹ his sonª or his daughterª to pass throughª° the fireª to Molech.ª" {2Kg 23:10} + "And they have builtª° the high placesª of Tophet,ª which¹ [is] in the valleyª of the sonª of Hinnom,ª to burnª°¹ their sonsª and their daughtersª in the fire;ª which¹ I commandedª° [them] not,¹ neither¹ cameª° it into¹ my heart.ª ... Therefore,¹ behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that it shall no¹ more¹ be calledª° Tophet,ª nor the valleyª of the sonª of Hinnom,ª but¹¹ the valleyª of slaughter:ª for they shall buryª° in Tophet,ª till there be noª¹ place.ª" {Jer 7:31-32} + "Therefore,¹ behold,¹ the daysª come,ª° saithª° the LORD,ª that this¹ placeª shall no¹ more¹ be calledª° Tophet,ª nor The valleyª of the sonª of Hinnom,ª but¹¹ The valleyª of slaughter.ª" {Jer 19:6} + "And shalt sayª° unto¹ them, Thus¹ saithª° the LORDª of hosts;ª Even soª will I breakª°¹ this¹ peopleª and this¹ city,ª as¹ [one] breakethª°¹ a potter'sª° vessel,ª that¹ cannotª°¹ be made whole¹ again:²°¹ and they shall buryª° [them] in Tophet,ª till [there be] no¹¹ placeª to bury.ª° ... Then cameª° Jeremiahª from Tophet,ª¹ whither¹¹ the LORDª had sentª° him to prophesy;ª° and he stoodª° in the courtª of the LORD'Sª house;ª and saidª° to¹ all¹ the people,ª" {Jer 19:11-14} + "Andª they immediately² leftª°¹ the¹ shipª andª their²¹ father,ª and¹ followedª° him.ª" {Mtt 4:22} + "Whereforeª ifª thyª handª orª thyª footª offend¹ thee,²°¹ cut²° them² off,ª°¹ andª castª° [them] fromª thee:ª² it isª° betterª for theeª to enter¹ intoª²° lifeª haltª orª maimed,ª rather thanª havingª° twoª handsª orª twoª feetª to be castª° intoª everlastingª fire.ª ... Andª ifª thineª eyeª offendª° thee,ª pluck²° it² out,ª°¹ andª castª° [it] fromª thee:ª it isª° betterª for theeª to enterª° intoª lifeª with one eye,ª rather¹ than² havingª° twoª eyesª to be castª° intoª hellª fire.ª" {Mtt 18:8-9}
