Yahweh will bring you trouble on this day.” And all Israel stoned them[b] with stones;[c] and they burned them with fire after they stoned them with stones. 26 Then they placed[d] on top of him a great pile of stones that remains to this day. And Yahweh turned from his burning anger,[e] and thus the name of that place to this day is called the valley of Achor.[f]
