{{short description|Hill near Jerusalem}}
'''Gibeat Goath ''' or the Hill of Death (of roaring, groaning) is a hill near [Jerusalem](/source/Jerusalem), mentioned in Jeremiah 31:39. [Jeremiah](/source/Jeremiah) predicts (Jer. 31:36-40) that the city should in future times extend beyond the north wall (the second wall) and inclose [Gibeat Gareb](/source/Gareb) and Gibeat Goath. The position of Gareb can correspond only with Under [Bezetha](/source/Bezetha), and the position of Goath only with Upper Bezetha where [Golgotha](/source/Golgotha) rose. Both of these elevations were inclosed by [Agrippa](/source/Agrippa_I), as parts of the new city, and lay inside the third wall. From the context we learn that [Gareb](/source/Garev) and Goath were unclean places, but, being measured in with the holy city, became sanctified. That the Goath hill of Jeremiah is identical with the Golgotha of the Evangelists, is more than probable.
