Gehenna: Greek or Aramaic?
#4
Thirdwoe Wrote:...

It is a Greek term which is derived from the Hebrew, the meaning of which is the valley of (the son of Hinnom)...ge-henna (or Ge-Hinnom) Son of-Hinnom, a valley in Jerusalem where an evil person's corps was burned and the cities refuse was burned...

...

Shlama Akhay,

Gehenna is an Aramaic form of the original Hebrew "Ge Hinnom", and the Arabic Jehannam is also derived from the original Hebrew. The Greek simply transliterates it, rather than using the native Greek "hades."

You can find the Aramaic word "Gehenna" in the Targum of the Psalms:

See, for instance, Psalm 21:10
