ACHOR
Valley that received its name when Achan, the troubler of Israel, was stoned and burned there (Jos 7:24-26; cf. 1 Chr 2:7). Achor was on the northern boundary of Judah’s tribal allotment (Jos 15:7). Later, the valley is mentioned in prophecies of Israel’s future blessings. A valley once known as the scene of Israel’s trouble would become “a door of hope” and a place for joyful singing (Hos 2:15); a place of relative desolation would one day become a place for herds to lie down (Is 65:10). The valley of Achor is commonly identified as the Buqei‘ah.
