γέεννα ge’enna (G1067) is the place of the future punishment called “Gehenna” or “Gehenna of fire”. This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction. This word is often translated as “hell” (cf. Luke 12:5).
