欣嫩子谷希伯來語גיא בן הינום‎;古希臘語γέεννα),又稱欣嫩谷,是耶路撒冷的一個谷地。

阿拉伯語中,稱欣嫩子谷為「拉巴比乾河」(阿拉伯語:وادي الربابة‎,羅馬化Wadi er-Rababi[1]

希伯來聖經中,第一次提及於猶大支派的領地,作為耶布斯的南界[2]猶大諸王在此以火獻祭自己孩子給摩洛克的地方[3][4] 。此後,這個地方便被認為受到了詛咒[5],不同於「地府」(希伯來語שְׁאוֹל‎‎,羅馬化:Sheol[6],作為「煉獄」的代名詞。[7][8]

基督教新約文本中,亦譯作地獄。[9]

For this reason the valley was deemed to be accursed, and "Gehenna" therefore soon became a figurative equivalent for "hell.""

Catholic Encyclopedia: "[I]n the New Testament the term Gehenna is used more frequently in preference to hades, as a name for the place of punishment of the damned.... [The Valley of Hinnom was] held in abomination by the Jews, who, accordingly, used the name of this valley to designate the abode of the damned (Targ. Jon., Gen., iii, 24; Henoch, c. xxvi). And Christ adopted this usage of the term."
