Joshua 7:24 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ver. 24. And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan, &c.— With the consent of the whole assembly, and followed by all the people, Joshua caused the criminal to be brought to the neighbouring valley, called from that time the valley of Achor, or of trouble, because of the trouble which this affair had occasioned to the Israelites; and with him they conducted, or carried, all that belonged to him. In the Hebrew it is, they made these things go up in the valley of Achor. In Scripture, to go up, sometimes signifies, only to go from one place to another.
