Gehenna: Greek or Aramaic?

Thirdwoe Wrote:...

Is see that Ge-Henna in the Hebrew text shows up a few times as The Valley of the son of Hinnom or Hinnom Valley...Ge=Valley, Hinnom=Henna this was a real place that is used in the New Testament to describe the fate of the wicked...



...
I find James's use of the term the most enigmatic (or perhaps the most illuminating).

Now the tongue is a fire, and the world of sin is like a forest. And this tongue, which is one among our members, marreth our whole body; and it inflameth the series of our generations that roll on like a wheel; and it is itself on fire. Murdock

The tongue is a fire, and the sinful world a forest; that very tongue while it is among our members, can defile our whole body and set on fire the course of our race which has rolled down from the beginning and in the end it is consumed by fire (gehenna). Lamsa.

The tongue is a fire, a world of sin, like a forest is the tongue itself among our members; it defileth all of our body, and burneth the course of our generations which run (forward) as a wheel, and kindleth also itself with fire. Etheridge.

And the tongue is a flame, and the world of sin is like that billowing fire, and yet the tongue is one of our members that puts its stamp on our entire body, and it burns the youth of our generation who run in those circles, and they burn also in the fire. Victor Alexander
