And I will give her her vineyards from then onward, and the low plain of Achor as an entrance to hope; and she will certainly answer there as in the days of her youth and as in the day of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.

25. Jehovah’s giving his wifelike organization “the low plain of Achor as an entrance to hope” meant what for her?

²⁵ When Jehovah spoke of “the low plain of Achor,” this is what it called to mind: After the invading Israelites destroyed the Canaanite city of Jericho, the greedy Achan was stoned to death, together with his family, because of his violating Jehovah’s command. Thus Achan caused trouble to Israel by his selfish disobedience in taking spoil. Appropriately the valley where Achan was stoned was called “the Low Plain of Achor,” the name Achor meaning “Trouble.” (Josh. 7:10-26) Accordingly Jehovah’s promise to give his wifelike organization the “low plain of Achor as an entrance to hope” meant her being restored to her homeland where the low plain was located.
