Joshua7:26

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.

As a Monument of the sin and Judgment here mentioned, that others might be instructed and warned by the Example; and as a Brand of Infamy, as Iosh. 8. 29. 2 Sam. 18. 17▪

Or, the valley of trouble, from the double trouble expressed v. 25.

Marginal references: Isa. 65. 10. Hos. 2. 15.; That is, trouble.
