Joshua 7:26 meaning and explanation
And they heaped over Achan a large pile of rocks that remains to this day. So the LORD turned from His burning anger. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Achor to this day.
Joshua 7:26, Berean Standard Bible

After Achan confesses taking plunder devoted to God, all Israel stones him and his household in the Valley of Achor, and this verse records the cairn raised over him. The name Achor means trouble, echoing Joshua's words in verse 25, so the place itself becomes a memorial of covenant violation and its cost.
