Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom. It went along the south slope of Jerusalem. From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley. The hill is also at the north end of the Valley of Rephaim.

上到欣嫩子谷，贴近耶布斯的南界（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）；又上到欣嫩谷西边的山顶，就是在利乏音谷极北的边界；

这地界又上到欣嫩子谷，耶布斯斜坡的南方，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷，这地界又上到欣嫩谷西边对面的山顶，就是在利乏音谷的最北端。

这地界又上到欣嫩子谷，耶布斯斜坡的南方，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷，这地界又上到欣嫩谷西边对面的山顶，就是在利乏音谷的最北端。

然后再沿着欣嫩子谷而上，直到耶布斯，即耶路撒冷的南面，再到欣嫩谷西面、利乏音谷北端的山顶；

再上到欣嫩子谷，到达耶布斯南面的山坡，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷；又上到欣嫩子谷西边的山顶，就是在利乏音的北端；

上到欣嫩子谷，貼近耶布斯的南界（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）；又上到欣嫩谷西邊的山頂，就是在利乏音谷極北的邊界；

這地界又上到欣嫩子谷，耶布斯斜坡的南方，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷，這地界又上到欣嫩谷西邊對面的山頂，就是在利乏音谷的最北端。

這地界又上到欣嫩子谷，耶布斯斜坡的南方，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷，這地界又上到欣嫩谷西邊對面的山頂，就是在利乏音谷的最北端。

然後再沿著欣嫩子谷而上，直到耶布斯，即耶路撒冷的南面，再到欣嫩谷西面、利乏音谷北端的山頂；

再上到欣嫩子谷，到達耶布斯南面的山坡，耶布斯就是耶路撒冷；又上到欣嫩子谷西邊的山頂，就是在利乏音的北端；

那界線又上欣嫩子平谷、到耶布斯的南阪坡（耶布斯就是耶路撒冷）；界線又上西邊欣嫩平谷東面的山頂，就在利乏音山谷北面的儘邊；

由此而往欣嫩子谷、至耶布斯、即耶路撒冷之南、上及欣嫩谷西之山巔、在利乏音谷之北極、

其界通便欣嫩子之谷、在耶布士邑、即耶路撒冷南、又至便欣嫩谷之西山、即哩乏音谷北。

上至便欣嫩谷、至耶布斯邑之南、耶布斯邑即耶路撒冷、又上至便欣嫩谷西之山巔、在利乏音谷之北、

Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusite city( that is, Jerusalem). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

Then the boundary goes up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the Jebusite( that is, Jerusalem). And the boundary goes up to the top of the mountain that lies over against the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

The boundary then passed through the valley of Ben Hinnom, along the southern slopes of the Jebusites, where the city of Jerusalem is located. Then it went west to the top of the mountain above the valley of Hinnom, and on up to the northern end of the valley of Rephaim.

From there the border ascended Ben Hinnom Valley to the southern Jebusite slope( that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces Hinnom Valley on the west, at the northern end of Rephaim Valley.

Then the border went up the Valley of Ben hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite on the south( that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is opposite the Valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the Valley of Rephaim toward the north.

And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusite city( which is Jerusalem). The border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley of Rephaim northward.

and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward( the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward;

From there the border ascended the Valley of Hinnom to the southern Jebusite slope( that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same[ is] Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that[ lieth] before the valley of Hinnom westward, which[ is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

It then went up the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the slope of the Jebusites on the south( that is, Jerusalem), going up to the top of the hill opposite the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the Valley of the Rephaites to the north.

The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite( also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward.

It went down to the foot of the hill that faces the Valley of Ben Hinnom. The hill is north of the Valley of Rephaim. The border continued down the Hinnom Valley. It went along the south slope of Jerusalem, where the people of Jebus live. It continued on to En Rogel.

Judah couldn’t drive out the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem. So they live there with the people of Judah to this day.

But the man didn’t want to stay another night. So he left. He went toward Jebus. Jebus is also called Jerusalem. The Levite had his two donkeys and his concubine with him. The donkeys had saddles on them.

Zelah, Haeleph, Jerusalem, Gibeah and Kiriath. The total number of towns and their villages was 14. That was the share of land the family groups of Benjamin received.

But the people of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites living in Jerusalem. So to this day they live there with the people of Benjamin.

Josiah destroyed the high place at Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. He didn’t want anyone to use the high place to sacrifice his son or daughter in the fire to the god named Molek.

The people have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. There they worship other gods. And there they sacrifice their children in the fire. That is something I did not command. It did not even enter my mind.So watch out!” announces the Lord.“ The days are coming when people will not call it Topheth anymore. And they will not call it the Valley of Ben Hinnom either. Instead, they will call it the Valley of Death. They will bury the dead bodies of some people in Topheth. But they will run out of room.

It will be as when workers cut and gather grain in the Valley of Rephaim. They gather up stalks in their arms. Only a few heads of grain are left.

The men of Judah attacked Jerusalem and captured it. They set the city on fire. They killed its people with their swords.

The Philistines had come and spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth. That’s where the Lord had sent him to prophesy. Jeremiah stood in the courtyard of the Lord’ s temple. He spoke to all the people. He said,

He burned sacrifices in the Valley of Ben Hinnom. He sacrificed his children in the fire to other gods. He followed the practices of the nations. The Lord hates these practices. The Lord had driven out those nations to make room for the people of Israel.

Go out to the Valley of Ben Hinnom. Stand near the entrance of the gate where broken pieces of pottery are thrown away. There announce the message I give you.

Once more the Philistines came up. They spread out in the Valley of Rephaim.

So watch out!” announces the Lord.“ The days are coming when people will not call this place Topheth anymore. And they will not call it the Valley of Ben Hinnom either. Instead, they will call it the Valley of Death.
