They have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I didn’t command, nor did it come into my mind.

Allusion1
A deliberate verbal borrowing without a citation formula.
Gehenna = the Valley of (the son of) Hinnom (ge-hinnom), where children were burned at Topheth; Jeremiah's condemnation of that valley made it the topographic seed of the later place-of-fiery-judgment.
Medium confidenceEcho1
A fainter, low-volume reuse, carried by recurrence or thematic coherence.
The valley of the son of Hinnom (Ge-Hinnom), site of child sacrifice condemned by Jeremiah, is the geographical and historical root of 'Gehenna.' Mark's term presupposes this defiled valley as the image of fiery judgment. The connection is etymological and background rather than a verbal citation.
