1. Topheth (place name) — The proper noun referring to Topheth, a site in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom south of Jerusalem associated with child sacrifice and later prophetic judgment oracles (2 Kgs 23:10; Isa 30:33; Jer 7:31-32, 19:6, 11-14). All four clusters are the same toponym with grammatical variation (article, prepositions beth 'in,' min 'from,' kaph 'like'). Spanish consistently renders 'Tofet,' Arabic uses 'تُوفَة' (Topheth), Hindi uses 'तोपेत/तोफ़ेत,' Korean uses '도벇/도뻗,' and Swahili uses 'Tofethi.' No semantic distinction exists among these prepositional frames of the same place name. 9×
