Usage

Topheth is a term used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific location in the Valley of Hinnom, near Jerusalem. It is associated with the worship of foreign gods, particularly the practice of child sacrifice to the deity Molech. The name is thought to be linked to the Hebrew word for "drum," possibly indicating the use of drums to drown out the cries of children being sacrificed.
