13"x19" signed print: archival pigmented inks on matte watercolor paper The deep Hinnom Valley is located south of the slope on which the City of David was first built. In the lower portion of the Hinnom "they built the high places of Baal...to offer up their sons and daughters to Moloch..." (Jer. 32:35). Here Manasseh, son of Hezekiah "...caused his children to pass through the fire..." (2 Chr. 33:6). In light of these transgression, the Hinnom Valley was damned and renamed "the Valley of Slaughter" (Jer. 7:32.28). This tradition may be at the origin of the Jewish Gehenna (Greek for Hinnom), the Hell of Fire, a belief that evolved during Roman times. For Muslims, the Hinnom is the site of "hell" following Judgment Day (Qur'an 57:13). This view looks east, from Abu Tor (the Hill of Evil Counsel).
