Commentary on Joshua 6:18

Theological / Devotional

Trouble it. The Heb. ‘akar means “to trouble.” ‘Akan (Achan) appears to come from this root. He was the one who later troubled Israel (Joshua 7:25). Joshua sought to forestall this type of “trouble” by giving strict instruction to the people to keep themselves from the “devoted” things.
