Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place.
Ver. 32. It shall no more be called Tophet.] Unless it be quasi Mophet, i.e., Portentum.
Nor the valley of the son of Hinnom.] As it had been called from Joshua's days. Jos 15:8
But the valley of slaughter.] Or, Gehaharegah; for the great slaughter that the Chaldees shall make there. Ecce congrua poena peccato, saith Oecolampadius.
For they shall bury in Tophet.] It shall become a polyandrion, or common burial place, till there be no place or room left.
