- Vulgate (Clementine)
- et ædificaverunt excelsa Topheth, quæ est in valle filii Ennom, ut incenderent filios suos et filias suas igni, quæ non præcepi, nec cogitavi in corde meo.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- καὶ ᾠκοδόμησαν τὸν βωμὸν τοῦ Τάφεθ, ὅς ἐστιν ἐν φάραγγι υἱοῦ Ἑννόμ, τοῦ κατακαίειν τοὺς υἱοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ τὰς θυγατέρας αὐτῶν ἐν πυρί, ὃ οὐκ ἐνετειλάμην αὐτοῖς καὶ οὐ διενοήθην ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ μου.
- Hebrew (WLC)

Haydock's commentary
Valley, to the south of the city. Here Moloc was adored, and Josias therefore contaminated the place, 4 Kings xxiii. 10. (Calmet)
It was very delightful. (St. Jerome)
