Old Jerusalem was a walled city with many gates. At the southern end of Jerusalem, at the lowest part of the city, is the Dung Gate. The Dung Gate once carried refuse from the city down into the Valley of the Son of Hinnom. It was in this valley that the Israelites sacrificed their children to pagan gods (causing them to “pass through the fire”) and built their high places. It is because of this history that the Hinnom Valley is often typed to hell. All of Jerusalem’s evil seemed to flow here, both natural and spiritual. | Old Jerusalem was a walled city with many gates.
