It is associated with trouble and calamity due to the events that transpired there, particularly the sin of Achan, which brought trouble upon Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Valley of Achor is historically significant in the narrative of the Israelites' conquest of Canaan. After the fall of Jericho, Achan, an Israelite, disobeyed God's command by taking forbidden items from the city. His sin led to Israel's defeat at Ai. Upon discovery, Achan and his family were punished in the Valley of Achor, which became a symbol of the consequences of disobedience and sin. The valley is later mentioned as a place of hope and restoration in prophetic literature, symbolizing God's ability to transform places of trouble into places of blessing.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5916.htm">akar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"disturbance," a valley on the border of Judah<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Achor (5).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עָכוֺר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>disturbance, trouble</b></font>, only in <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">עֵמֶק ע</font> <em>valley of trouble</em>, west or southwest from Jericho <a href="/interlinear/joshua/7-24.htm">Joshua 7:24</a>,26 (J E;
