This place later became synonymous with hell or Gehenna in the New Testament, symbolizing divine judgment.<p><b>where the LORD had sent him to prophesy</b><br>Jeremiah was acting under divine commission, emphasizing the authority and seriousness of his message. Prophets in the Old Testament were often sent to specific locations to deliver God's word, highlighting the direct communication between God and His chosen messengers.

It was not just for the leaders or the religious elite but for every inhabitant of Jerusalem. This reflects the biblical principle that God's messages are for all people, regardless of status.
