The concept of a glen can be related to various geographical features mentioned in the Scriptures, which often hold significant spiritual and symbolic meanings.<br><br><b>Biblical Context and Symbolism</b><br><br>In biblical times, valleys were significant both geographically and symbolically. They were often places of battles, refuge, and divine encounters. While the specific term "glen" is not used in the Bible, the imagery of valleys is prevalent throughout the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Valleys in the Bible</b><br><br>1. <b>Valley of Achor</b>: Known as a place of trouble, the Valley of Achor is mentioned in <a href="/joshua/7-24.htm">Joshua 7:24-26</a>, where Achan was punished for his disobedience. Despite its initial negative connotation, the valley later becomes a symbol of hope and restoration in <a href="/hosea/2-15.htm">Hosea 2:15</a>: "There I will give her back her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope."<br><br>2. <b>Valley of Elah</b>: This is the site of the famous battle between David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17). The Valley of Elah represents a place of testing and victory, where faith in God leads to triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds.<br><br>3. <b>Valley of the Shadow of Death</b>: Although not a physical location, this phrase from <a href="/psalms/23-4.htm">Psalm 23:4</a> symbolizes times of deep distress and danger. The psalmist expresses confidence in God's presence and protection: "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me."<br><br>4. <b>Valley of Jehoshaphat</b>: Mentioned in <a href="/joel/3-2.htm">Joel 3:2</a>, this valley is associated with God's judgment. It is a place where nations will be gathered for judgment, symbolizing divine justice and the ultimate sovereignty of God.<br><br><b>Spiritual Lessons from Valleys</b><br><br>Valleys in the Bible often represent times of trial, testing, and growth. They are places where individuals encounter God in profound ways, learn dependence on Him, and experience His deliverance. The imagery of a valley, or glen, can remind believers of the following spiritual truths:<br><br>· <b>Dependence on God</b>: Just as valleys are surrounded by mountains, believers are reminded of their need to rely on God's strength and guidance during challenging times.<br> <br>· <b>Hope and Restoration</b>: Valleys can be transformed from places of despair to symbols of hope, as seen in the transformation of the Valley of Achor.<br><br>· <b>Divine Presence</b>: Even in the darkest valleys, God's presence is a source of comfort and courage, as expressed in <a href="/bsb/psalms/23.htm">Psalm 23</a>.<br><br>· <b>Judgment and Justice</b>: Valleys can also symbolize God's righteous judgment, reminding believers of the importance of living in accordance with His will.<br><br>While the term "glen" itself is not found in the biblical text, the concept of valleys as places of both challenge and divine encounter is deeply woven into the biblical narrative, offering rich spiritual insights for believers.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>(<I>n.</I>) A secluded and narrow valley; a dale; a depression between hills.<a name="lib" id="lib"></a><div class="vheading2">Library</div><p><a href="/library/basil/basil_letters_and_select_works/ii_education.htm"><span class="l">Education.</span></a> <br><b>...</b> Basil's own description [23] of his retreat on the opposite side of the Iris matches<br> the reference of Gregory of Nazianzus [24] to the narrow <b>glen</b> among lofty <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/basil/basil letters and select works/ii education.htm</font><p><a href="/library/maclaren/expositions_of_holy_scripture_a/the_valley_of_achor.htm"><span class="l">The Valley of Achor</span></a> <br><b>...</b> on him had purged the camp, victory again followed their assault, and Achan lying<br> stiff and stark below his cairn, they pressed on up the <b>glen</b> to their task of <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">/.../maclaren/expositions of holy scripture a/the valley of achor.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kingsley/at_last/chapter_ix_san_josef.htm"><span class="l">San Josef</span></a> <br><b>...</b> mile off, the steep slopes of the green northern mountains blazing in the sun, and<br> sending down, every two or three miles, out of some charming <b>glen</b>, a clear <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/kingsley/at last/chapter ix san josef.htm</font><p><a href="/library/kingsley/at_last/chapter_v_a_letter_from.htm"><span class="l">A Letter from a West Indian Cottage Ornee</span></a> <br><b>...</b> And lastly, what is that giant tree which almost fills the centre of the <b>glen</b>, towering<br> with upright but branching limbs, and huge crown, thinly leaved, double <b>...</b> <br><font color="#ff6600" size="-1">//christianbookshelf.org/kingsley/at last/chapter v a letter from.htm</font><p><a href="/library/borrow/letters_of_george_borrow/to_the_rev_j_jowett_14.htm"><span class="l">To the Rev.
