It is infamously known as a site where children were sacrificed by fire, a practice strongly condemned in the Hebrew Scriptures.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, Topheth was a place of abomination due to the detestable practices that occurred there. The Valley of Hinnom, where Topheth was located, became synonymous with judgment and destruction. The practice of child sacrifice was adopted from surrounding pagan cultures and was a significant reason for divine judgment against the Israelites. King Josiah, in his religious reforms, defiled Topheth to prevent further sacrifices (2 Kings 23:10).<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(act of) spitting<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>spit (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> I. <font class="hebrew2">תֹּ֫פֶת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>act of spitting</b></font>; — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">לְפָנִים וְת</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/17-6.htm">Job 17:6</a> <em>a spitting in the face</em> do I become, i.e. men spit in my face ("" <font class="hebrew2">לִמְשֹׁל עַמִּים</font>; Perles Baer Bu <font class="hebrew2">מֹפֵת לִפְנֵיהֶם</font>).
