Joshua 7:26
Compare all
24 Then Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and aall that he had, and they brought them to bthe Valley of Achor.  
25 And Joshua said, a“Why have you troubled us? The Lord will trouble you this day.” bSo all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.  
26 Then they araised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. So bthe Lord turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called cthe Valley of Achor to this day.

Joshua 7:26

A great heap of stones - As a memorial of Achan' s sin and its punishment. (Compare Joshua 8:29; II Samuel 18:17.)

The valley of Achor - Compare the marginal references. This valley formed part of the northern border of Judah Joshua 15:7; and must therefore have lain among the ridges which cross the plain to the south of Jericho. But its exact site is uncertain. (Conder identifies it with Wady Kelt.)
