Boyd’s Bible Dictionary
:
[
ACHAN
.] (Hos.2:15).
Concise Bible Dictionary
:
Achor signifies “trouble,” and was the place where
Achan
was stoned for having troubled
Israel
by taking the
accursed
thing (
Josh. 7:26
26
And they raised over him a great heap of stones unto this day. So the Lord turned from the fierceness of his anger. Wherefore the name of that place was called, The valley of Achor, unto this day. (Joshua 7:26)
). The
valley
was between
Jericho
and Ai, on the border of the tribe of
Judah
. Identified with
Wady Kelt
, 31° 50' N, 35° 24' E. It will be a
door
of
hope
to Israel — putting away evil from among themselves, national self-
judgment
— in the future, when they call to mind that it was there that
God
’s judgment began to fall on them, followed by
blessing
: so the
tribulation
of the latter
day
will usher in blessing (
Hos. 2:15
15
And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. (Hosea 2:15)
;
Isa. 65:10
10
And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for the herds to lie down in, for my people that have sought me. (Isaiah 65:10)
