Achor signifies 'trouble,' and was the place where Achan was stoned for having troubled Israel by taking the accursed thing. 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-judgement — in the future when they call to mind that it was there that God's judgement began to fall on them, followed by blessing: so the tribulation of the latter day will usher in blessing. Hosea 2:15; Isaiah 65:10 .
