At the time of God's previous judgments of His people Israel at the hand of the Babylonians, Gehenna was filled with dead bodies of the sinners among God's people (Jer. 7:32,33).
Wakati wa hukumu za Mungu zilizopita kwa watu wake wa Israeli kwa mkono wa Wakaldayo, Gehanamu ilijawa na miili ya waliokufa ya watenda dhambi kati ya watu wake Mungu (Yer. 7:32,33).
